Is Your Medical Privacy at Risk?
Uncovering the Battle for Patient Privacy:
Ontario Doctors Fight CPSO’s Invasive Record Demands
In this Talk Nation Radio broadcast, host Randy Taylor is joined by Leslie Peel, lawyer Paul Slansky, Dr. Rochagné Kilian and Dr. Sonya Kustka for a discussion about medical privacy in Ontario.
Leslie Peel with “Privacy Is Your Right” is a patient advocate who fights to protect medical privacy protected under the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPPA) and the Canadian Charter. Leslie is leading the legal action against the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO), challenging their access to patient records during investigations.
Constitutional lawyer Paul Slansky shares his insights on the implications of these cases, where the CPSO has sought to access patient records without consent, potentially violating Charter rights to privacy and security of the person.
Dr. Rochagné Kilian and Dr. Sonya Kustka discuss the critical issue of medical records privacy in Ontario. The CPSO’s actions against these doctors have raised concerns about regulatory overreach and the balance between oversight and individual privacy rights.
