PHIPA - 64(1)
The complainant made a correction request under the Act to the hospital. The complainant asked that a record relating to the genetic testing of his minor child and all references to it be removed in their entirety from the child’s records of personal health information. In this decision, the adjudicator finds that the hospital does not have a duty to correct the record under section 55(8) by upholding its refusal to correct based on the application of section 55(8) itself. She also finds that the complainant’s request that the record be removed from the child’s health record is not a remedy that is available under section 55(10) or any other section of the Act. The complaint is dismissed.
