Limits
Publication bans must be respected (s. 23(3)). The Registrar must not post personal health information unless required, and no more than reasonably necessary (s. 23(8)–(9)). Where discipline ends with no finding, the information is generally removed after 90 days unless the member asks for it to remain (s. 23(11.1)).
Other Regulators
Non-health regulators publish under their own statutes and by-laws. For example, HCRA’s registrar must make certain licensing information public (NHCLA, s. 82).
Frequently Asked Questions
Are complaints posted?
Not generally. Health college registers focus on outcomes such as cautions and referrals, not bare complaints.
