The complainant asserted that a doctor had not conducted a reasonable search for his medical records. The complainant relied on an affidavit of documents from an existing court proceeding between himself and the doctor to identify the allegedly missing records and to argue that they should exist.
In this decision, the adjudicator concludes that the existing court proceeding between the complainant and the doctor could more appropriately and completely address the complaint, since it concerns the affidavit of documents. The adjudicator concludes there are no reasonable grounds to conduct a review of the complaint and she exercises her discretion not to proceed with a review.
