    History

    The Operational Support Branch was briefly known in 1999 as the Operations Support Branch in the Long-Term Care Division of the Ministry of Health.

    In 2000 the Branch moved to the new Health Care Programs Division. By 2002, most of its responsibilities, including those of policy and operational support moved from the Operational Support Branch to new branches created to serve specific program areas, namely the Hospitals Branch, the Long-Term Care Facilities Branch, and the Mental Health and Addictions Branch.

    With its diminished mandate, the Operational Support Branch moved to the Health Services Division where it continued to provide support for Assistive Devices and Home Oxygen programs and financial, operational and policy support to the division.
