    Historique

    In 1982, a unit under the name Assistive Devices Program was created to administer the program of the same name. It was part of the Community Health Programs Branch.

    In 1988, Assistive Devices Program was renamed the Assistive Devices Branch.

    For the next eleven years, the Assistive Devices Branch reported to a number of divisions: Drugs and Devices (1988), Assistant Deputy Minister - Personal Needs (1989), Consumer Health and Planning Consumer Services (1990/1991), Consumer Services (1992), Assistant Deputy Minister - Population Health and Community Services System Group (1993); and Health Insurance and Related Programs (1997).

    Fonctions et activités

    Assistive Devices Program administers two health-related programs which help pay for certain equipment and supplies for Ontario residents with long-term physical disabilities.

    The Assistive Devices Program proper was created by the Ministry of Health in 1982 in order to help children, who were 18 years old or younger, and their families, purchase assistive equipment and devices. By 1988, the age was increased to 23 years old, and within a year all Ontario residents with long-term physical disabilities were elegible for support.

    The Home Oxygen Program pays the costs of at-home oxygen supply for seniors, people on welfare, residents in long-term care facilities and beneficiaries of the Home Care Program.
