    History

    The Division was created in 1988 as the Health Programs Division, responsible for coordinating the development and implementation of cross-Ministry health care program policy and planning for targeted program areas.

    Over time the Division grew as other units with responsibility for cross-Ministry program planning were transferred to the Division. In 1990, when the name of the Division was changed to the Planning and Programs Division, the French Language Health Services Unit and the Women's Health Bureau were made part of the Division. The heads of these two units were also the Program Policy Coordinators for their respective program areas and as such had been considered part of the Division since its founding in 1988. At this time the Health Planning Branch was also transferred, broadening the Division's responsibility to include liaison with District Health Councils in regards to regional health planning.

    In 1992 the Consumer Health and Planning Division became part of the new Health Strategies Group.
