Participatory Dialogues of the Superintendence of Health
The Participatory Dialogues of the Superintendence of Health are an instrument of citizen consultation. In these dialogues, the Health Superintendence introduces policies implemented by that institution or dependent institutions to the citizens, and investigates both the citizens' assessment of these policies and the citizens' priorities for the implementation of new policies. The dialogues usually have both a face-to-face and a digital component. In the face to face phase, citizens meet and through the work in small groups seek to reach agreements on the issue in question. In the digital setting, the agreements reached are often submitted to vote or discussed via online surveys.
