(Redirected from Ministry of Welfare (Denmark)) Government ministry of Denmark

The Danish Ministry of Social Affairs was re-created in 2010 as a split of the Social Welfare ministry created after the 2007 Folketing elections. The split moved the section that had to do with the Ministry of the Interior off into the Ministry of the Interior and Health. The current minister is Pernille Rosenkrantz-Theil.
