History
The Inspection Branch was created in 1974 by bringing together the Nursing Home Inspection Service, the Laboratory and Specimen Collection Centre Licensing and Inspection Service, and the X-Ray Inspection Service. In 1977, it became a branch under the Institutional Division.
The Inspection Branch was disbanded in December 1980 and its functions were absorbed by the other branches within the Institutional Division. The Institutional Operations Branch took over the Nursing Home Inspection Service; the Institutional Planning Branch took over the X-Ray Inspection Service; and the Laboratory Branch (which was transferred from Direct Services Division to the Institutional Division at the same time) took over the Laboratory and Specimen Colleciton Centre Inspection Service.
