Following several incidents in recent years where personal health information was lost or shared, the Graham Government wants to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
New legislation outlining how personal health information is collected, used and shared will take effect the first day of September.
Some of the wording with the new law includes requires consent to collect, use or disclose personal health information.
The Personal Health Information Privacy and Access Act was introduced in the Legislature back in the spring of last year.
