Bill 24--eHeath
The Province's recently introduced eHealth Bill (Bill 24) allows the Provincial Government to create massive electronic databanks of citizens' personal health information and to override citizens' long-cherished rights to privacy and to doctor/patient confidentiality. The Bill gives government sweeping powers to access and utilize private and confidential medical information gathered from a variety of sources including community health clinics, women's clinics, pharmacies, medical labs, hospitals and other public health bodies.
