The Ministry of the Solicitor General (the ministry) received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for a police report relating to the suicide of an individual.

The requester did not appeal the ministry’s decision to withhold the rest of the report, but the widower of the deceased appealed the ministry’s decision to disclose any information about his late wife. In this order, the adjudicator upholds the ministry’s decision and dismisses the appeal. |

The complainant asked for access to her child’s patient records on her child’s behalf. Hamilton Health Sciences granted access to some records, but withheld information in the records regarding its communications with a children’s aid society. It claimed that granting access to the withheld information could reasonably be expected to result in a serious risk of harm to the child’s treatment or recovery, within the meaning of the exemption in section 52(1)(e)(i) of PHIPA. In this decision, the adjudicator accepts that the withheld information is exempt, and she dismisses the complaint. |

MO-4598 | Order | Access to Information Orders | Stella Ball | En savoir plusExpand | |
The appellant wanted information about an investigation of a childcare centre overseen by the Algoma District Services Administration Board. The investigation followed allegations of financial misconduct at the Centre. Algoma granted the appellant access to two records and denied access to the rest because they contained personal information of other individuals. The appellant challenged Algoma’s access decision and asserted that additional responsive records exist. In this order, the adjudicator largely upholds Algoma’s decision that most of the records should not be disclosed to the appellant because disclosure would be an unjustified invasion of the personal privacy of other individuals. However, she orders Algoma to disclose three records that do not contain personal information of other individuals and do not qualify for exemption from disclosure. She also finds that there is no reasonable basis to believe that additional responsive records exist, and she dismisses that claim. |

A source contacted the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario to report that a multi-disciplinary health clinic was disposing of records of personal health information in an unsecured manner in contravention of the Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004 (the Act or PHIPA).

However, considering the measures applied in response to the breach, including the creation and implementation of privacy and security policies, practices, procedures and training, the investigator finds that an order is not warranted. |

MO-4596 | Order | Access to Information Orders | Katherine Ball | En savoir plusExpand | |
An individual made a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act to the police for access to records relating to her sister’s death. The police provided some information but decided not to provide the requester with a suicide note stating it was exempt under the personal privacy exemption in section 14(1) of the Act. The individual appealed stating that the deceased’s parents needed the suicide note for closure in their grieving. In this order, the adjudicator finds that though the individual provides compassionate reasons for requesting the suicide note, its disclosure is not desirable in this case as it would be an unjustified invasion of personal privacy of the deceased’s spouse and other individuals. The adjudicator upholds the police’s decision and dismisses the appeal. |

A father filed a complaint under the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) regarding a social worker’s decision to deny him access for notes and documents relating to the social worker’s preparation of a custody and access assessment report. The social worker had already provided copies from his file to the complainant’s family lawyer. The social worker takes the position that he was not a “health information custodian” for the purposes of preparing the report. In this decision, the adjudicator finds that the social worker is not a “health information custodian” within the meaning of that term under section 3(1) of PHIPA for the purpose of preparing the report. Accordingly, the adjudicator finds that the complainant does not have a right under PHIPA to request access to the requested records or complain about any fee requested or already paid. The adjudicator exercises her discretion not to conduct a review under sections 57(4)(a) and (b) of PHIPA. |
