Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In April of this year, there was a system upgrade to our Stanton Territorial Hospital MEDI-patient system that resulted in more than 1,500 diagnostic imaging reports not being returned to the practitioner who had requested them between April 1st and August 6th of 2015. Members of this House were flagged on August 11, 2015, by the Minister of Health, and I’ll stress “that some quality assurance regulators and digital imaging at Stanton were noticed and that some health system patients were affected but were never disclosed the e
xact impact.” It wasn’t until the
following week of August 18th , the Minister, through
a CBC radio morning show, disclosed the magnitude of the issue. As of this date, there has been no formal press release or formal health advisory to the public.
My questions today are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Mr. Speaker, I think many of us are still concerned about this situation, so can the Minister give the House and the public at large a formal update and maybe indicate what legal risks are still looming? Thank you.
