    Historique

    Medical Rehabilitation and Chronic Care Service was created in 1966 from the previous Rehabilitation Branch. James C. Allison was appointed Chief when the Medical Rehabilitation and Chronic Care Service was created in 1966 under the Special Health Services Branch of the Public Health Division. While created as one unit, by 1967, the two components were considered two separate sections within the service: Medical Rehabilitation Section, and Chronic Care Section, which included Homes for Special Care Programme, and the Nursing Homes.

    The Service took over responsibility for the feasibility study on Multiphasic Screening in Ontario, and the administration of the Thalidomide programme, which was transferred from the Maternal and Child Health Service in 1969. In 1970, the Service took charge of monitoring locally-operated Home Care programs, including the provision of bedside nursing, physiotherapy, occupational and speech therapy to selected patients in their homes under the direction of the attending physician. Other services provided include homemaking, laboratory work, x-rays, drugs, transport, and meals-on-wheels.

    After the re-organization of the Ministry of Health, the Service ceased to operate as a distinct unit in 1973, and most of its functions were incorporated under the new Personal Care Division.
