Biographical history
The Ministry of Health was established in 1976 as the successor to the Dept. of Health (OIC 3199/76). The ministry was responsible for managing public health in the province. In 1977, the department was organized into three major programs for mental health, public health and special health programs. After 1980, the department had three programs: Preventive Services, Direct Community Care Services, and Hospital Programs. Two years later the names of the programs changed to: Community Care, Long Term Care, and Hospital Programs. In 1984 the department’s two programs were Preventive and Community Care Services and Institutional Services. These changed to Hospital Programs, Continuing Care Services, and Emergency Health Services in 1988. Responsibility for seniors was added to the Ministry of Health in 1989, and in 1996 the ministry was renamed Ministry of Health and Ministry Responsible for Seniors (OIC 203/96).
In 2001, the functions of the ministry were divided between two new ministries: the Ministry of Health Services and the Ministry of Health Planning.
Custodial history
Scope and content
This series consists of records documenting the financial operation of community care facilities across BC established under the Community Care Facility Act (RSBC 1996, c.60), repealed and replaced with the Community Care and Assisted Living Act (SBC 2002, c.75). The records were created and maintained by the Continuing Care Division of the Ministry of Health (1976-2001) between 1978-1995 in BC. The Continuing Care Division monitored the operation of continuing care facilities such as family care homes, group homes, private hospitals, and intermediate care facilities and provided funding for these facilities to house individuals unable to live independently in the community due to different health related issues.
Records are arranged alphabetically by facility name and fiscal year. They include financial records such as statements of income, administrative expenses, furniture costs; salary schedules; schedules of current and projected costs including percent decrease/ increase; quarterly reports; balance sheets; auditor reports; and related correspondence. These records are classified under the one-time schedule (880181) Facility Budget Files.
