Abstract
Under the Governor's proposals for reorganization of state government in Massachusetts, the Department of Public Health, in its present form, will be abolished. Its traditional functions will not be abandoned, but they will be redistributed among three distinct administrations. Each will be a part of the Secretariat of Human Services. Health or health-related services will be grouped according to whether they provide regulation, patient care or rehabilitation. Environmental and Food and Drug services will pass out of Human Services into other secretariats.Only recently has the regulatory aspect of public health become important, but now it has become dominant.
