This department was responsible for the Mental Diseases Hospital at New Norfolk until 1920 when responsibility was passed back to the Department of Public Health (1904 - 1956) in 1920. A sub-department within the Department of Public Health (1904 - 1956) was created in 1945 called the Division of Mental Hygiene (1945 - 1956) which operated until 1956.
