Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In the health care system, privacy and privacy rights is an incredibly important factor in providing services, and effective today we have the Health Information Act that actually guides our ability to share information. It indicates when we can share the information and also indicates when we can’t share information. Prior to today we were bound by ATIPP.
So, when it comes to health privacy and those types of concerns, I would strongly encourage you and I would strongly encourage all Members to make sure that when individuals are in the health care system, they are very clear and articulate who can and can’t receive information, and who can be told that som
ebody is in a particular facility. But if we don’t
have that information, we can’t and we won’t share people’s personal information. So, as of today’s
Health Information Act, it went live today, prior to that it was ATIPP. Thank you.
