    History

    In 1975, Administration and Health Insurance was created as an area of responsibility under the direction of an Assistant Deputy Minister (ADM). It had been created initally in 1972 as Finance and Information Services where it had two divisions (Health Insurance Division and Ministry Information System Division) as well as two branches (Audit Branch, and Supply and Services Branch) which reported directly. By 1975, the name had changed to Administration and Health Insurance. At that time, the Ministry Information System Division moved to the Research and Development rubric, and the ADM was left with the Audit Branch, Communications Branch, Human Resources Branch, as well as Health Insurance Division, and Ministry Services Division (renamed Finance and Administration Division the next year).

    Over the years, various responsibilities came and went. In 1976 the Drugs Therapeutics Branch was added, and in 1978 the Information Systems Division was put back in this rubric. The Communications Branch was removed in 1980 as was the Drugs and Therapeutics Branch. The Human Resources Branch was removed in 1982.

    The rubric was renamed in 1985, and became Administration, Finance and Health Insurance with the following units reporting to it: Health Insurance Division; Finance and Administration Division; Audit Branch; Human Resources Branch; and Affirmative Action Program. In July 1988, the whole rubric was renamed Corporate Administration.
