History
In 1972, the Department of Health, renamed the Ministry of Health, underwent an organizational restructuring. The concept behind the re-organization was that of a "one comprehensive health care program capable of serving the needs of the total population without limitations or restrictions...". Towards this end, effective 1 April 1973, three operational units were created - Health Standards, Health Services, and Finance and Information Services. Under the direction of an Assistant Deputy Minister, the Health Services rubric consisted of the Direct Services Division, Area Planning Co-ordinators and the Inspection Branch. In 1975, the division (along with associated branches and services), Area Planning Co-ordinators and the Inspection Branch were merged together with the Health Standards rubric and established Community Health Services.
