Funkcjonowanie i znaczenie rad nadzorczych przy niepublicznych szpitalach samorządowych

This article describes the results of research (conducted using a questionnaire) on the operation of boards of trustees in non-public local-government-owned hospitals. CEOs of the above-mentioned hospitals have positive opinions about the operation of the boards, recognizing them to be useful both for the owner authorities and the units themselves. Their supervisory function is particularly highly rated in economic and managerial areas. To a lesser extent this applies to the quality of services. No significant operational issues have been reported by respondents. The CEOs, however, stressed the fact that trustees are not always sufficiently prepared for meetings, moreover, when hospitals operated as independent public health care units, they did not have to finance the activities of such boards.
