Parsons uses FOI to obtain information Posted By ERICA BAJER, THE DAILY
NEWS
A Wallaceburg councillor is using the province's Freedom of Information
legislation to try and access a report on the physical condition of the
Sydenham hospital.
Sheldon Parsons handed an FOI request to Erie St. Clair Local Health
Integration Network CEO Gary Switzer yesterday.
Switzer said the LHIN doesn't have a copy of the 2005 infrastructure
study compiled by Stantec Consulting. However, he plans to forward the
FOI request to the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care.
Parsons didn't hand CKHA the FOI request, because hospitals are exempt
from the legislation.
"We believe that you have the authority to get it," Parsons told
Switzer. "We believe it was used as background data for the Hay report."
The councillor said Chatham- Kent Health Alliance has denied requests
from the Save Our Sydenham committee to hand over the full report.

In my opinion you are not right.
All right -why do you not agree that a public hospital should provide information to the public on a FOI basis? Whose hospital is it? Who pays for it ? What is wrong with getting information that is normal in normal business?
You are not right. Let's discuss it.
please discuss your points then
