History
The Policy Development and Research Branch was formed in 1978 within the Ministry of Health replacing the former Strategic Planning and Research Branch.
The branch changed names in 1981 to the Policy Development Branch, in 1983 to the Policy Analysis and Research Branch, in 1987 to the Policy Development and Research Division, and in 1990 to the Policy Development Branch.
The branch reported directly to the Minister until 1987 when the Policy, Planning, and Systems Division was created by a corporate reorganisation. This division was re-named the Planning and Programs Division in 1988 and the branch continued to report under this division until 1991 when the branch then began to report through the Corporate Policy Division.
In 1992, the functions of the branch were assumed by the Policy, Programs and Research Branch.
