Under the Personal Health Information Protection Act, the complainant made a request to the Ministry of Health for access to certain types of records of his personal health information. The ministry told the complainant that it could not find any records. The complainant alleged that the ministry had not properly interpreted the scope of his access request and also claimed that records must exist.
In this decision, the adjudicator finds that the ministry properly interpreted the scope of the complainant’s access request and conducted a reasonable search for records of his personal health information. The adjudicator dismisses the complaint.
