Treasury Board (New Brunswick)

Last updated

The Treasury Board is the name of a cabinet committee and associated government ministry in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. It was established in the 1970s, following best practices that began in the 1960s in the Canadian federal government with the creation of an independent Treasury Board Secretariat in 1966. It was an independent entity in New Brunswick from 1972 to 1991, when it was merged into the Department of Finance. From 1991 to 2001, all of its functions were exercised by the finance department, until its human and information resource oversight functions were spun off to the Office of Human Resources and the Department of Supply and Services.

It was briefly an independent agency again from 2011 to 2012 and has been since 2016. It was named Board of Management from 1982 to 2016.

A health department or health ministry is a part of government which focuses on issues related to the general health of the citizenry. Subnational entities, such as states, counties and cities, often also operate a health department of their own. Health departments perform food inspections and other health related inspections, vaccination programs, free STD and HIV tests, tobacco enforcement and cessation programs, and other medical assistance programs. Health departments also compile statistics about health issues within their area. The role of a health department may vary from one country to the other, but their primary objective is always the same; safeguarding and promoting health. In 1986, several of the world's national health departments met to establish an international guideline by which health departments operate. The meeting was in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and hence the guidelines established are known as the Ottawa Charter. The Ottawa Charter was designed to 'achieve Health for All'.
