  Department of Health and Social Security - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Department of Health and Social Security was a ministry of the British Government for twenty years from 1968 until 1988, headed by the Secretary of State for Social Services.
Until 1968 the social security responsibilities had been split between the Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance, and the health responsibilities by the Ministry of Health.
In 2001 the Department for Work and Pensions was formed from the Department of Social Security, absorbing the employment functions which had previously been the responsibility of the Department for Education and Employment since the dissolution of the Department of Employment in 1995.

 Gillick -v- West Norfolk And Wisbech Area Health Authority and Department of Health and Social Security, House of ...
Gillick, who is the mother of five daughters under the age of 16, objected to the guidance and she instituted the proceedings which have led to this appeal, and in which she claims a declaration against both appellants that the advice given in the guidance was unlawful.
The declaration which is claimed against the D.H.S.S., to the effect that the advice given in the guidance was unlawful, amounts to an assertion that the Secretary of State for Health and Social Security has acted illegally, in the sense of ultra vires.
The department's guidance avoids the trap of declaring that the decision to prescribe the treatment is wholly a matter of the doctor's discretion.

Minister for Health and Social Security, Steve Rodan MHK said: “I would like to reassure the public that this very important health care development remains a priority for the Department, but it can’t move forward at the present because it is not funded.
