The Secretariat for Disabled Persons was created in 1983, and replaced the Office of the Provincial Coordinator for Rehabilitation Services. It reported to the Legislature through the Provincial Secretariat for Social Development.
In June, 1985, it was transferred to the responsibility of a Minister without portfolio for Citizenship and Culture, which formed part of the Cabinet Office (the Cabinet Office, in turn, forms part of the Premier's Office). In 1986, the secretariat was replaced with the Office for Disability Issues.
