Ministry Of Health Responsible: The new Supplementary Benefits Commission —made up of persons appointed by the minister for social security—is a semiautonomous body functioning as a department of the new ministry of health responsible. At the local level this move implied the merger of national insurance and national assistance office functions, one point of contact for the applicant, and a greater opportunity to ensure that the contributory benefit applicant also would receive any noncontributory benefits that he was entitled to. On the national level it foreshadowed the merger of the ministry of health responsible of health (responsible for the national health service) with the ministry of health responsible of social Security to form the department of health and social security.
The official agencies, like the voluntary groups, provide research and educational services. In addition, some official agencies set standards that assist in protecting the health of the public and the consumers of health products and services. Each state has a tax-supported official agency known as the state health department. These departments are responsible for establishing and enforcing health laws for their states.
In 1968 the Public Health Service was reorganized into three separate health agencies: the Health Services and Mental Health Administration, the National Institutes of Health, and the Consumer Protection and Environmental Health -Service, including the Food and Drug Administration, one of the agencies originally transferred into the Federal Security Agency in 1939. These three health agencies are directed by the assistant secretary for health and scientific affairs, who is aided by the surgeon general of the Public Health Service.
