      History

      The Program Coordination Branch was established in the Department of Social and Family Services in 1971. When the Department was replaced by the Ministry of Community and Social Services in 1972, the Branch became part of the new Ministry.

      As part of the Ministry's move towards decentralization, the Branch was disbanded at the end of 1973 and its functions dispersed throughout the Ministry, especially to the newly created Office of the Assistant Deputy Minister of Delivery.
