The complainant made a correction request under the Act to a health information custodian (the custodian) for the correction of his personal health information in a consultation report. The custodian denied the correction request on the basis that he does not have a duty under section 55(8) of the Act to make the correction. In this decision, the adjudicator finds that the custodian was not required to make the requested corrections as the complainant has not established that the information he seeks corrected is inaccurate for the purposes for which the custodian uses it. The adjudicator issues no order and upholds the custodian’s decision.
