History
The Financial and Administration Division was created in the Department of Health in 1966.
In 1973 it was renamed the Financial Services Division and in 1974 the Ministry Services Division. In 1975 the name was changed again to the Finance and Administration Division.
The Division encompassed three branches: the Fiscal Resources Branch, responsible for the preparation of estimates, the development of the multi-year plan, and related expenditure and revenue control; the Supply and Services Branch, responsible for the provision of goods and services required by the Ministry, government institutions and the general public; and the Finance and Accounting Branch, responsible for managing the Ministry's payment systems.
A reorganization in 1990 eliminated the Finance and Administration Division and brought the three branches directly under the Corporate Affairs rubric
