What it does
The Health Facilities Program supports the development and delivery of health programs and services through investments in health facilities infrastructure. The program does this through administering contribution agreements and directing departmental spending. Health facilities include nursing stations, health stations, health centres, health offices, and treatment centres on reserve. Key program activities include funding the following: the construction, acquisition, leasing, expansion and/or renovation of health facilities; the operations and maintenance of health facility infrastructure; security services; and, preventative and corrective measures for health facility infrastructure such as capital projects aimed at maintaining or restoring compliance with building codes, environmental legislation, and workplace health and safety standards to improve the workplace environment for staff working in First Nations health facilities. Health Facilities Program activities support the delivery of Clinical and Client Care Services on-reserve, the Mental Wellness Program, the Healthy Living Program and the Healthy Child Development Program (Aboriginal Head Start On Reserve facilities).

History and lineage
First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2019-20. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).
| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Education Facilities | Earlier program (name match, low confidence) | 2018-19 – 2020-21 | $456M |
| Health Facilities | Earlier program (name match, high confidence) | 2018-19 – 2020-21 | $173M |
| Health Facilities | This program | 2019-20 – 2024-25 | $1.19B |
Significant changes in scope and budget
Detected from the data: renames between plans, programs it appears to replace, merge with or split into (matched by name), year-over-year changes in spending of at least 25% and $5M, or in employees of at least 20% and 25 FTEs, linked budget measures, and results indicators added or dropped.
