Subject: Official Information request - Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)
for NHI numbers

Dear Ministry of Health,

Please provide:

- the PIA that considered the privacy implications of NHI numbers or other
unique identifier. It is my understanding that a PIA took place in the
1990's and concluded that NHI numbers are personal information. There may
be something more recent. 

Yours faithfully,
Mason Helm.
