In 1907 the British Columbia Anti-Tuberculosis Society built the Tranquille sanatorium for the care of persons afflicted with tuberculosis. The provincial government purchased the sanatorium in 1921 from the Society. This unit includes a small amount of material from the pre-1921 period (1908-1920).

This series includes records of the Anti-Tuberculosis Society, correspondence of the medical superintendent of Tranquille Sanatorium with his counterparts at many sanatoria in North America and with the Deputy Provincial Secretary. The reports of the Central Council of the Tuberculosis Division and the Coordinating Committee at Tranquille give a good picture of life in the institution, as does the file labelled "Pests". The lectures and examinations for student nurses give a useful view of the understanding and treatment of the disease. The unit also includes packages for various departmental conferences in the 1930s which show how the various branches of the Department of the Provincial Secretary were coordinated.

In 1958, when it was no longer required as a tuberculosis hospital, Tranquille was transferred to Mental Health Services.

In response to what was perceived to be medical persecution, the British Columbia Chiropractors' Association (BCCA) was formed under the leadership of Walter Sturdy on April 7, 1920. The formation of the BCCA appears to represent a formal split in the Anti-Vaccination and Medical Freedom League. Following this division, the so-called "mixers" (who used a variety of healing modalities, both mechanical and non-mechanical) were organised around the BC Association of United Drugless Therapists. It was the "straights" (who provided hands-only, spine-only care) who were represented by the BCCA. Both groups were able to have private members introduce bills to the Legislature which would have legitimised and formalised each groups' role. Forceful lobbying by the medical profession, however, led to an amendment to the Medical Act, which set out qualifications for, and limitations to chiropractors in April 1921. In subsequent years various chiropractors and the medical profession continued lobbying efforts on behalf of their various interests. In 1929, 1930 and 1931 the chiropractors and drugless healers introduced bills into the Legislature which would have given them more freedom under the Medical Act or provided for separate and autonomous regulation of both groups. In 1931 the government appointed a Royal Commission to examine the issue of chiropractic and drugless healing. The Commission recommended that chiropractors should have a separate act and should be prohibited from practising midwifery or surgery and from prescribing drugs. In addition, it was recommended that the Act be restricted to the regulation of chiropractors and should not include drugless therapists. A private member's bill was introduced based on these recommendations but it was defeated by one vote on the third reading. During the election of 1933 the chiropractors attempted to interview and make known the attitudes of all the candidates toward official recognition of chiropractors. The Conservative government was defeated in this election and the new Liberal government appeared to be sympathetic to the chiropractors. Soon after the opening of parliament a chiropractic bill, substantially the same as the previous one, was introduced. This bill passed final reading on March 29, 1934 thereby giving official recognition to chiropractors as well as defining the limiting their scope of activities. In 1933 the BCCA was dissolved and was replaced by the Chiropractors' Association of British Columbia (CABC). Some members of the CABC were also active in the Canadian Chiropractic Association and this relationship is reflected in the records. Records include papers and correspondence relating to the formation and operations of the BCCA and to the subsequent activities of its members. A substantial number of clippings found throughout the records document these and related issues. A number of links existed between the CABC and the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto and year books, certificates, and related material highlight this connection. There are also biographical sketches which cover a broad cross-section of the membership of the CABC. A paper prepared by Lesley Biggs for the BC Studies Conference in 1986 deals with the early struggle for licensing of chiropractors in B.C.

Records in this series consist of minute books, correspondence, clippings, brochures, photographs and other records relating to the formation and operations of the Chiropractors' Association of British Columbia and to the subsequent activities of its members. Also included are biographical sketches of many of the members, notably Walter T. Sturdy who founded the B.C. Chiropractors' Association, the predecessor of the CABC These biographies and other material were assembled by the CABC with the assistance of Margaret Cantwell.

SUMMARY: Coalition candidate George S. Pearson talks about B.C. Hospital Insurance coverage.;

These are files of the Research Division of the British Columbia Hospital Insurance Service. In 1948 an "Act to provide for the Establishment of Hospital Insurance and Financial Aid to Hospitals" was passed. Accordingly, the B.C. Hospital Insurance Service was established as a third branch of the Department of Health and Welfare and tasked with administering the premium payment plan which provided hospital care benefits for acute illness at the standard ward level to residents of the province. The role of the B.C.H.I.S. quickly grew to include hospital financing, inspection, and advisory services related to hospital construction. The name of the branch changed from British Columbia Hospital Insurance Service to Hospital Programs in 1975, as part of a reorganization within the Ministry of Health. In the early years the B.C.H.I.S. was also responsible for the administration of the Welfare Institutions Licensing Act (transferred to the Dept. of Social Welfare in 1950) and the Provincial Infirmaries (transferred to the Health Branch in 1964). The Research Division was created in the second year of operation of the B.C.H.I.S. In the annual report of BCHIS for 1950 the responsibilities of the Research Division are listed as "this branch of the Service supplied all statistics necessary to the Service, which included compilation of progress and annual reports, surveys, and other information". In the 1951 annual report this description is broadened slightly, "maintained monthly progress reports, compiled statistics concerning hospitalization experience, and conducted special studies on matters related to the Service". There are two series of files, one series containing correspondence with individual hospitals and one series containing subject files. The first series in this unit, the bulk of these files, relate to individual hospitals and contain correspondence of the division with the hospitals, news releases of the ministry relating to the hospital, reports of the division relating to the individual hospitals and other research material relating to individual hospitals. The bulk of this series is from 1953-1965, with some material as late as 1975. The second series of files are subject files of the Research Division on such topics as rehabilitation, mental health, indian affairs, morbidity, social welfare, and pediatrics. The bulk of this series is from 1953-1962, with some material as late as 1977. Individual Hospital Series (Boxes 1-12) Subject Files (Boxes 12-15)

The series consists of applications, reports, forms, correspondence, printouts from government databases, and budget information received, maintained and created by the Ministry of Health and its successors. The records were created between 1968 and 2011 for the Alternative Payments program. The series documents the provision and monitoring of Medical Services Plan (MSP) funding for physician and health care practitioner services through alternative payment agreements to regional health authorities. The functions of the Alternative Payment program were controlled by the Physicians’ Compensation branch.

The Alternative Payments program is a method of funding physician services by the Medical Services Plan through means other than the fee-for-service method. The program is designed to secure sufficient access to care in situations where fee-for-service arrangements may not guarantee physicians the financial support or stability to be able to provide needed care, such as in teaching hospitals or community-based services in rural areas. There are two models for alternative payments : service agreements and sessional arrangements. Service agreements consist of a contract between the Ministry of Health and a Health Authority which retains physicians under contract or direct employment. Sessional arrangements are based on contracts between a Health Authority and a physician.

Records consist of alternative payment agreement accountability records case files. Records regard reviewing applications from regional health authorities for funding for programs within their geographic areas of responsibility; developing and monitoring agreements with regional health authorities; monitoring programs funded by alternative payments methods; and processing payments to regional health authorities in accordance with approved agreements. The series also include some files with related policies, procedures and forms.

Ministries responsible for the creation of this series, and their dates of the responsibility, are:
British Columbia. Ministry of Health (1976-2001)
British Columbia. Ministry of Health Services (2001-2005)
British Columbia. Ministry of Health (2005-2008)
British Columbia. Ministry of Health Services (2008-2011)
