The Mental Hospitals Branch was created in 1966 within the Mental Health Division as the result of a major reorganization of the Ontario Department of Health.
Under the Directorship of G.D. Cormack, the branch conducted an extensive review of the clinical services and physical facilities in the provincial psychiatric hospitals. It also directed the development of additional services for children and adolescents suffering from mental and emotional disorders.
In 1968, the Branch changed its name to the Psychiatric Services Branch.
