In this decision the adjudicator finds that the complainant has established that the clinic has a duty to correct his records of personal health information and orders the clinic to do so by striking out the incorrect statements that the clinic had “saved images for future reference.” The complainant established under section 55(8) that the records are inaccurate for the purposes for which the clinic uses the information because the images were not saved, thereby undermining the very purpose for which the clinic included the statements in the records – to document the availability of the images for future reference.
