History
The In-House Services Branch was established in 1990, assuming some of the services of the Community Services Branch; the transfer of responsibilities was completed in 1991.
The Branch was part of the Community and Support Services Division until 1992, when it became part of the Long-Term Care Division.
Responsibility for Placement Coordination Services was transferred in 1993 to the various regional officies of the Long-Term Care Division. By that time, the In-Home Services Branch was divided into two units, Provincial Programs, and Policy and Planning.
The In-Home Services Branch ceased to exist in 1997, and its responsibilites were assigned to various branches and regional offices of the Long term Care Division.
