History
The Division was first created as the Institutional Health Division in 1988.
Between 1988 and 1990 the Division was responsible for inspection of Nursing Homes. In 1990 the Nursing Homes Branch was renamed the Residential Services Branch and transferred to the Community Health and Support Services Division. In 1994 responsibility for Psychiatric Hospitals was transferred to the Mental Health Programs and Services Group.
At this time the name of the Division was changed to the Institutional Health Group. In 1998 the name was changed again, to the Hospitals and Related Facilities Division.
During the mid-1990s the internal structure of the Division evolved to reflect its shift in focus from central planning and control to devolution of operations to more decentralised offices. During this time the divisional structure of branches for each sub-program area evolved into a regional office organisation, where staff from the various divisional programs were located in regional offices across the province.
In 1999, the Division was amalgamated with the regional offices of the Institutional Health and Community Services - Mental Health unit and of the Long-Term Care Division to form the Regional Offices - Hospitals, Long-Term Care and Mental Health Services.
