Resumo: The Council of Health (CoH) are privileged instances for social participation through political representation, given its deliberative character. However, there are numerous scientific evidences that show difficulties in the exercise of councilor representation. The objective of this paper is to comprehend the notion of political representation that leads the activities of councilors. It is a case study, conducted by semi-structured interviews with the members of the City Council of Health, Viçosa, Minas Gerais, from April through June of 2012. The testimonials were analyzed through "Thematical Analysis", according to the procedure proposed by Bardin (2008). The results show a distancing from the theoretical assumptions of political representation, revealing occasions of defense of private interests over community interests; lack of knowledge and/or omission from demands of the representation bases; incipient articulation with them. It has been observed that the instruments and mechanisms of accountability, responsible for sanctions in the traditional system of parliamentary political representation, proved inadequate for the reality of CoH, compromising the integrality of the political representation and, therefore, the social participation in the CoH.

Sin embargo, existen innumerables evidencias científicas que indican dificultades en el ejercicio de la representación de los concejos. El objetivo de este artículo fue comprender la noción de representación política que orienta la actuación de los concejeros. Se trata de un estudio de caso, conducido por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas con los miembros del Concejo Municipal de Salud de Viçosa, Minas Gerais, en el periodo de abril y junio de 2012. Las entrevistas fueron analizadas por medio del “Análisis Temático”, propuesto por Bardin (2008). Los resultados demuestran distanciamiento de los presupuestos teóricos de la representación política revelando situaciones de defensa de intereses particulares en detrimento de intereses colectivos; desconocimiento y/u omisión de las demandas de las bases de representación e; incipiente articulación con las mismas. También se observó que los instrumentos y mecanismos accountability y responsabilización, responsables por las sanciones en el sistema tradicional de representación política parlamentar, se revelaron inadecuados para la realidad de los CS, comprometiendo la integralidad de representación política y, por consiguiente, de la participación en los CS.Em função do caráter deliberativo, os Conselhos de Saúde (CS) são instâncias privilegiadas de participação social por meio da representação política.
