History
As a result of the oversupply of physicians and nurses in the the province by the 1970s, the Health Manpower Planning Section was established within the Ministry's Research Branch. On 1 February 1976, it began reporting directly to the Assistant Deputy Minister, Community Health Services. A Medical Manpower Advisory Committee was established in 1977 consisting of representatives from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, the Ontario Medical Association, the Council of Faculties of Medicine, and the Ministry of Health in order to establish a database of current information useful for medical manpower planning purposes. An inventory, called "Health Manpower in Ontario" was prepared. A provincial Nursing Manpower Liaison Committee was also established with representation from the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario, and the Ontario College of Nurses.
The Manpower Planning Section consulted with federal immigration authorities in order to regulate the flow of immigrant physicians into Ontario. It also provided advice to the Ontario Council of Health and the Ministry of Colleges and Universities regarding health science education, and administered a programme providing financial support to medical personnel in training.
In 1978, the Section was brought under the Policy Development and Research Branch where it remained until 1990. With the restructuring of the latter in 1990, the health manpower function was brought under the Health Planning Branch of the Programs and Planning Division.
