The complainant, the husband of a deceased individual, sought a complete copy of the deceased individual’s medical records from a group of hospitals (the custodian). The custodian provided access to the responsive records. The complainant was not satisfied with the completeness of the records he received, and filed a complaint with this office challenging the reasonableness of the custodian’s search for records. In this decision, the adjudicator upholds the custodian’s search as reasonable and dismisses the complaint.
