Abstract	Norway has a predominantly public health care sector. Municipalities have the responsibility for primary care, while specialist health care is organised in regional health authorities owned by the central government. These regional authorities are responsible for specialist health care for the population in their catchment areas, and they own the main providers. There is a system of referral to specialist care, with primary care physicians as gate keepers. The reduction of waiting times in specialist health care has been considered a major political challenge. National guidelines have been developed, which stipulate maximum medically acceptable waiting times for the patients for a range of diagnoses. These vertical and individualised prioritisation rules make the Norwegian system for waiting time regulation quite unique. The chapter details the organisation of the health care sector, and we report some results from empirical analyses of developments in waiting times for specialist health care.
