Abstract

The Henry Mintzberg’s myth #5 has been inspired by “conventional wisdom” according to which ownership of health care providers plays an important role in the efficiency in producing services. Moreover, Henry Mintzberg argues that health care is rightly controlled by the public sector, for the sake of equality (Mintzeberg 2012). Based on these two apparently contrasting arguments one can conclude that in the system where most of provision is public, there should be some trade-offs between equality and efficiency.
