History
Regional Offices - Hospitals, Long-Term Care and Mental Health Services was created during a Ministry-wide re-organisation in 1999. The unit was formed by amalgamating the existing regional offices structures under three of the Ministry's previous program divisions: hospitals, long-term care and mental health services, and devolving to these offices greater responsibility for planning and coordination.
From 2004 onwards the Regional Offices existed administratively within the Acute Services Division, though Acute Services shared responsibility for the Regional Offices with the Community Health Division.
In 2007 the Regional Offices ceased to offer services to the public. Their responsibilities were distributed to a number of units within the Ministry.
Places
Legal status
Functions, occupations and activities
The Regional Offices - Hospitals, Long-Term Care and Mental Health Services were responsible for regional planning, and oversight and coordination of service delivery in three programs areas: hospitals and related programs, long-term care, and mental health and addiction services. The amalgamated Regional Offices inherited the regional coordination, facilities inspection, and service delivery functions of its predecessor Divisions.
The goal of the amalgamation was to create a structure that facilitated coordination of services in these three program areas and to decentralise planning and management of service delivery.
Beginning in 2001, the Regional Offices became responsible for oversight of and liaison with the District Health Councils, which were community-based advisory bodies that helped plan and coordinate health care services in their respective regions.
