Freedom of Information Requests

eHealth Ontario is subject to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA), the Ontario law that provides a right to access information under the control of institutions in accordance with the following principles:

  • Information should be available to the public
  • Necessary exemptions from the right of access should be limited and specific
  • Decisions on the disclosure of government information should be reviewed independently of government

FIPPA also protects the privacy of personal information of individuals held by institutions. It provides individuals with a right of access to, and correction of, that information.

Making a Freedom of Information Request

Freedom of information requests must be made in writing. Please include enough detail to allow our staff to find the information, along with the $5.00 application fee (cheque only, payable to the Minister of Finance).
