On September 3, 2003, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (the IPC) received a telephone call from the manager of the Public Health Laboratory of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (the Ministry) reporting a breach of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act). The manager explained that a patient's lab results were inadvertently faxed to an incorrect fax number.
The Ministry subsequently advised that it was conducting an investigation into the matter and provided a written chronology of the events.
On the basis of this information the IPC initiated a privacy complaint under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act).
