The Treasury Medical Service was set up in 1948 to deal with the occupational medical requirements of the Civil Service. In 1969, the Service passed to the Civil Service Department, where it was known as the Medical Advisory Service. When the Civil Service Department was abolished in 1981, the Medical Advisory Service passed under the control of the Office of the Minister of the Civil Service (OMCS) within the Cabinet Office.
