History
The Institutional Division was created on April 1, 1973 within the Ontario Ministry of Health, and was originally known as the Institutional Standards Division. It reported directly to the Assistant Deputy Minister responsible for Institutional Health Services. It resulted from a ministry restructuring, and had no immediate predecessor within the Ministry.
The Institutional Standards division was renamed the Institutional Planning and Operations Division on January 10, 1975. One year later, it became known as the Institutional Division.
The Institutional Standards Division included the Institutional Planning Branch and the Institutional Operations Branch throughout the course of its existence. In 1977, the Inspection Branch was brought under the Division until it disbanded in 1980. The Laboratories Branch was transferred to the Institutional Division in 1980 where it remained until 1985.
In 1988, the Institutional Division was dissolved and its functions were transferred to various branches of the Ministry of Health.
