      History

      The Ontario Council of Health was established by Order in Council on June 16, 1966. The first Chairman of the Council was Kenneth C. Charron, Deputy Minister of Health. Of the other sixteen initial members, only one, Stanley W. Martin of the Ontario Hospital Services Commission, was a public servant; the other fifteen represented various health professions and interest groups.

      The Council formed various committees and sub- committees each with responsibility for studying and reporting upon a particular health subject.

      The Council ceased to exist administratively in 1986. The Premier's Council on Health Strategy (1987- 1991) and the Premier's Council on Health, Well- Being and Social Justice (1991-1995) took on much of its work.
