History
In 1966, when the Department of Health underwent a reorganization, the Ambulance Service Section was created within Emergency Health Service of the Public Health Division.
In 1968, Emergency Health Service was transferred from the Public Health Division to the Ontario Hospital Services Commission which reported directly to the Minister of Health.
In 1972, the Health Insurance Act dissolved the Ontario Hospital Services Commission and with this change, the Ambulance Services Section became the Ambulance Services Branch within the Direct Services Division.
