History
The Program Standards Branch was created under the name Long-Term Care Policy Branch in 1990 as part of the new Community Health and Support Services Division. It resulted from a merger of the Elderly Services Branch with the Services for the Disabled Branch, consolidating policy and program design in these two areas.
In 1992, the branch was re-named the Policy Branch, under the new Long-Term Care Division. In 1995, the Community Health and Support Services Division ceased to be a joint program area of the Ministries of Health and of Community and Social Services, and became a unit solely of the Ministry of Health.
In 1997 the branch was re-named again, to the Program Standards Branch. The branch's internal structure and functions remained the same from 1990 to 1999 through a number of re-organisations of the broader long-term and community care portions of the Ministry.
In 1999, the Program Standards Branch was wound up, as the Long-Term Care Division was broken up and its responsibilities transferred to the newly-established network of Regional Offices responsible for oversight of hospital, long-term care and mental health services programs and providers.
