I93-095P
This investigation was initiated as a result of a complaint concerning the Workers' Compensation Board (the Board). Specifically, the complainant was concerned that the Board had disclosed her entire claims file including her medical information, to her employer contrary to the provisions of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act). The complainant stated that some of the medical information that had been disclosed was wrongly filed in her correspondence file. As a result of this information being misfiled, the complainant was not given the prior opportunity to object to its disclosure as permitted by the Workers' Compensation Act.
The complainant also stated that her telephone number was disclosed contrary to explicit instructions to keep it confidential.
