      History

      The Health Programs Unit had its roots in the group of program policy coordinators who reported to the ADM, Health Programs / Programs and Planning beginning in 1988. In 1990 the Health Programs Unit was created as a discrete unit within the Programs and Planning Division.

      In 1992 the Unit was broken up in the course of a re-organisation of the various health policy divisions of the Ministry. In some cases program policy coordinators were transferred to the existing program division or branch most closely related to their activities. In the case of the Aboriginal Health Co-ordinator, the position formed the core of the new Aboriginal Health Strategy Unit. The remainder of the Unit's program policy coordinators became part of the new Strategic Priorities Research Group.
