| Report: | A-2024-035 |
| Report Date: | July 23, 2024 |
| Public Body: | Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services |
| Summary: | The Complainant made an access to information request to Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services (NLHS) seeking information on specific costs incurred by NLHS as part of its contract with a company providing services to the public body. Among other things, the Complainant sought information on the cost of company employees who work with NLHS. NLHS provided the Complainant with a new record it created that included an overview of some of the costs paid to the company for work conducted under the contract. The Complainant asserted that this information was incomplete. The Commissioner determined that while NLHS appeared to have responded in good faith, it should have provided copies of its original records that detailed the costs paid for those aspects of the contract of interest to the Complainant rather than create a new record. |
