The Instrumentation of Local Health Policies Seen through Transcoding Activities: The Case of the Local Health Plan of the City of Rennes
This article questions the process of drawing up a policy tool in the area of local health policies in the light of the notion of transcoding (Lascoumes, 1994). To this end, we take the example of the Local Health Plan (PLS) of the city of Rennes. We thus show that the PLS is both the result of recycling actions and measures implemented in the framework of other local policies (education, transport, housing, etc.), while also assembling activities to ensure the consistency of all elements from different sectoral policies. Since the drawing up the PLS comes inherently with a logic of professional legitimation of local health actors, this process is also a source of specific constraints and tensions with other local services.
