This decision deals with the issues of access to records of personal health information, and reasonable search. The access request, made to Hamilton Health Sciences, was for psychological testing data relating to the complainant. In this decision, the adjudicator finds that the records at issue are excluded from Part V of the Personal Health Information Protection Act by virtue of section 51(1)(c). The adjudicator also finds that the hospital’s search for records responsive to the request was reasonable.
