Summary/Abstract: This article aims at an analysis of the selected dysfunctional phenomena between the two levels of the Polish administration in the area of health care. The study used the method of analysis of source materials, especially information and departmental reports on the programmes implementation and the data of the Ministry of Finance. In many cases, this proved insufficient, so there were references to the data from the surveys carried out by local government associations as well as basic research. The results of this work show significant dysfunctions occurring between the two parts of the dual state, which reduce the authority of the central administration to the local government. This research paper is a valuable contribution to a serious reflection on the changing public policy. These dysfunctions not only make impossible the constitution of the optimal state, but also contribute to a significant imbalance between the institutional order and the sphere of economy and society.
