    Historique

    In 1979, the Drugs and Therapeutics Branch was split into the Ontario Drug Benefit Program (in the Health Insurance Division), and the Drugs and Therapeutics Advisory Service (in the Health Programs Division). This newly-constituted Service was responsible for the professional component of pharmacy, the PARCOST program, recommendations of drugs for the Drug Benefit Formulary/Comparative Drug Index, and for providing information to the public regarding drug prices.

    In 1983, the Drug Programs and Policy Group, of which Drugs and Therapeutics Advisory Service became a part, was created in order to facilitate the consolidation of the Ministry's drug and pharmaceuticals programs. The Group reported initially to the Assistant Deputy Minister (ADM) for Community Liaison and Corporate Resources. In 1985, the Group (since renamed the Drug Programs and Policy Branch) began reporting to the ADM for Emergency Services.

    In 1988, the Branch began reporting to the ADM for Personal Health. Since that time, it has been referred to as the Drug Programs Branch.
