The Swedish Social Service Act was introduced in 1982. The intentions of the legislators are expressed in the preparatory work on the Act. The three programmes - Care for the Aged & Disabled (CAD), Daycare for children (DCC), and the Personal Social Services (PSS) - should cooperate and the organization of the Social Services should be coordinated and integrated. In this article the organization of these programmes under the same Social Services Municipal Committee and managerial staff is analysed from a specific organizational theoretical viewpoint. The analysis shows that each of the Social Service's three programmes can be regarded as a separate one, each with its own way of reacting and responding to changes, influences and demands of society at large.
