Patient Care and Quality Review Board PHSA

The Patient Care and Quality Review Board (PHSA) was listed as an independent public body at the start of 2024 under British Columbia’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act  and the Information Management Act. They would be considered part of the broader public sector within these laws.

FIPA submitted focused FOI requests to determine how this public body was interpreting and applying freedom of information and information management laws.

None of the following independent Patient Care and Quality Review Boards responded as an independent public body. Vancouver Coastal, Fraser Valley, Island, Northern, Interior, PHSA. None maintain individual efforts to comply within the legislation.

Although they each have an individual head of the public body, their response came from one coordinating secretary.  

Any subsequent analysis is conducted on the central response from the Patient Care and Quality Review Board Secretary.
