The Ministry of Health was created on the disestablishment of the Department of Health on 1 July 1993, as part of the reform of the public health structure. Operational functions of the department were largely assumed by Crown Health Enterprises, who competed with other health service providers for funding from Regional Health Authorities. The Ministry retained the functions of the overall funding and monitoring of the health sector, and was the chief advisor to the Minister of Health on health issues.
