Sentence
"Details on how to promote healthy dietary habits were short in the report, however, other than that it was the responsibility of the Department of Health."
Does this sentence work? I just feel that there is a disconnect between its first and the second parts even though most would have no problem making out what the sentence is trying to say.
Thank you.

Antecedents are not clear. If we assume that "that" refers to the entire first clause/sentence, what does "it" refer to?
It was the responsibility of the DOH to do something? The DOH was responsible for other aspects of the report?
