PHIPA DECISION 142

The appellant, on behalf of her brother, made an access request to UHN for a copy of security video footage relating to an incident involving her brother at a rehabilitation hospital. She did not seek the images of other patients or visitors. UHN issued a decision to release the footage, with images of all other patients, visitors, hospital staff and security personnel redacted. It also provided a fee estimate of $725. On appeal, the adjudicator makes findings on the appellant’s right of access pursuant to the Personal Health Information Protection Act and the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. UHN is ordered to provide access to most of the information in the record, including images of staff and security personnel, and to issue a new fee estimate under PHIPA if it decides to charge a fee for access.
