In November 2002, the Minister for Health launched an initiative - dubbed the 'Hospital 2007' (hôpital 2007) project - to shake up the state-run hospital sector. The plan has split the representative trade unions representing both doctors and other hospital staff. One of the targets for reform is the internal organisation of hospitals. Within hospitals, the existing departments are to be brought together into 'poles of activity', which are also to serve as the framework for management. Hospital departments, having escaped abolition thanks to pressure from the doctors’ unions, are to remain the point of reference in clinical matters. In individual hospitals, in addition to a board of governors and a hospital medical commission (Commission médicale d’établissement, CME), an executive council made up of equal numbers of representatives of managers and doctors is to be responsible for the administration of the hospital’s general policy.

  -> thanks Rachel :-)
agree  writeaway: good (context-related) refs. that is what the explanation space is for afaik
9 hrs
  -> pôles/clusters are all over the net - I can't understand how the term can be deemed "untranslatable", even if health services are not organised in this way in other countries (and do we really know this is true? Are the French that original?)
