Department of Health (Jonathia)

The Department of Health (DOH) is a cabinet-level department of the Jonathian government created to protect the health of the Jonathian people and providing essential human services. Its motto is "Improving the health, safety, and well-being of all Jonathians".
The Health Department is administered by the Secretary of Health, who is appointed by the prime minister with the advice and consent of the parliament. The position is currently held by Carol Descartes.
The department develops policies and guidelines to improve the quality of care and to meet patient expectations. It carries out some of its work through arms-length bodies (ALBs), including executive non-departmental public bodies such as the NHS, and executive agencies such as the Bureau of Health Security and the Bureau for Health Product Regulation. The Department also manages the work of the National Health and Care Research Institute.
The expenditure, administration and policy of the department are scrutinised by the State Committee on Health and Social Care.
