This appeal was received pursuant to subsection 50(1) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 1987, as amended (the "Act") which gives a person who has made a request for access to a record under subsection 24(1) or a request for access to personal information under subsection 48(1) a right to appeal any decision of a head under the Act to the Commissioner.
On January 5, 1990, Sidney B. Linden, Information and Privacy Commissioner/Ontario appointed the undersigned Assistant Commissioner and delegated to the undersigned, the power to conduct inquiries and make Orders under the Act.
The facts of this case and the procedures employed in making this Order are as follows:
1. On July 5, 1989, the requester wrote to the Ministry of Health seeking access to:
Curriculae (sic) vitae of all members of Health Disciplines Board.
Copies of all unreported decisions of the courts regarding the practices and procedures before the Health Disciplines Board.
2. On July 18, 1989, the Freedom of Information and Privacy Co-ordinator for the Ministry of Health (the "institution") responded to the request in the following manner:
Unfortunately, access is not possible as the records requested are exempt under Section 21(3), personal information; and, Section 22(a), information that is currently available to the public.
The information contained in curriculae vitaes (sic) is personal information under section 21(3) of the Act and, as such, is exempt from disclosure.
With respect to unreported court decisions regarding the practices and procedures of the Health Disciplines Board, this too is exempt as the information is currently available to the public through the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Ontario.
