Taken to its extreme (which it has been): (1) "normal cops" need specialists to enforce rules the average beat cop doesn't understand. (2) "normal laws" are vague, imprecise and take years of debate to clarify, so we have "ministers/secretaries/directors" empowered to nimbly and precisely interpret the broad laws. The specialists in the cops become their own sub-department. The ministers need a 'place'. Lo, why not put them together, and while we're at it, note this is very much a national 'common' problem, so lets have them all work at the federal level. Not saying I agree that it's the way it should be, but the reduction is inevitable. (For the record, they I think it should be is the FDA is needed, but its powers and practices need better alignment to its intended mission)
