      History

      The Research and Planning Branch was created on October 1, 1966 within the Ontario Department of Health as a result of the reorganization of the Department.

      Under the Directorship of Grainger W. Reid, the Branch reported to the Deputy Minister of Health. It absorbed the Medical Statistics Branch whose long-time statistician, A.H. Sellars, became Assistant Director of the new Branch. The Research and Planning Branch also included the following units: Health Statistics, Library, National Health Grants Programme, the Principal Nurse Consultant, and a Consultant in Psychiatry.

      In 1972 the Research and Planning Branch was replaced by the Research Branch and the Special Project Branch, both within the Research and Analysis Division of the newly formed Ministry of Health.
