Decision Content
NATURE OF THE APPEAL:
The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services (the Ministry) received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to the requester’s correctional service file, including his medical records, during his incarceration at a named Regional Detention Centre. In response, the Ministry issued a decision letter in which it provided access to the records in part. Access to the remaining records was denied on the basis of a number of identified exemptions in the Act.
The requester (now the appellant) appealed the Ministry’s decision to deny access to the records that were withheld, and Appeal PA08-239 was opened by this office.
