The complainant submitted a twelve-part correction request under the Act to a health information custodian for the correction of her personal health information within a psychotherapy consultation report. The custodian denied the request on the basis that it did not have a duty under section 55(8) of the Act to make the corrections. In this decision, the adjudicator upholds the custodian’s refusal to correct the report, finding that the exception to the duty to correct at section 55(9)(b) of the Act applies to the personal health information at issue. She dismisses the complaint.
