History
The Health Programs Division was created in 1978 within the Ontario Ministry of Health, resulting from a merger of the Community Health Division and the Personal Health Division. Under Executive Director, G.K. Martin the new Division included the following agencies: the Program Advisory Branch, the Program Development Branch, the Public Health Branch, and the Drugs and Therapeutics Advisory Service. The division was also responsible for some program areas not divided into branches, such as the Assistive Devices Program and the Home Care Program.
In 1982 the Health Programs Division ceased to exist. All branches that had formerly reported to the head of the division were moved to a newly-created Mental Health Division. Remaining programs within the Health Programs Division were assumed by the Community Health Programs Branch, which also became part of the Mental Health Division.
