A father filed a complaint to the IPC against a counselling centre’s decision to deny him access to records containing the personal health information (PHI) of his three children. In PHIPA Decision 129, the adjudicator found that the father does not have an independent right of access to his children’s PHI under Part V of PHIPA, given the children’s mother’s objection, and dismissed his complaint.
The complainant sought a reconsideration of PHIPA Decision 129. In this reconsideration decision, the adjudicator finds that the complainant’s evidence failed to establish grounds for reconsideration under the claimed grounds in sections 27.01(b) and (c) of Code of Procedure for Matters under the Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004. Accordingly, the complainant’s reconsideration request is denied.
