Psychiatric documents with sensitive patient info found ‘loosely blown about’ near Regina medical clinic

Brandon Harder reports:

The private records of patients at the Elphinstone Medical Clinic were just laying loose on the ground in a nearby alley and an empty lot.

According to a report from Saskatchewan’s Information and Privacy Commissioner (SIPC), a person referred to as “Individual A” saw a Facebook post on Oct. 27, 2024 that referenced patient records scattered near the Regina clinic.
