History
The Premier's Council on Health Strategy was established by Premier Peterson on 3 December 1987, as a response to three inquiry reports: Toward a Shared Direction for Health in Ontario , Health for All Ontario and Health Promotion Matters in Ontario. Replacing the predecessor, Ontario Council of Health (1966-1985), the Council was part of the Premier's Office, and was chaired by Premier Peterson. Its secretariat was supplied by the Communications and Information Branch of the Deputy Minister's Office of the Ministry of Health. The Minister of Health served as the Council's Vice-Chair and also coordinated the steering committee for five sub-committees which addressed the following areas: Health Goals, Health Care System, Healthy Public Policy, Integration and Coordination, and Health Innovation Fund.
The Council ceased to exist in early 1991 and was replaced by the Premier's Council on Health, Well-Being and Social Justice, which had a broader mandate. This council was directed by the Management Board of Cabinet.
