Looking for Accountability

In February, 2022, a non-profit group now known as Sask Alliance* requested information from the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) under the Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. (LAFOIP) They were looking for answers to a host of questions concerning the last two years.
In March, the request was revised and resubmitted to the SHA and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health. In a recent update, Sask Alliance advises that the Ministry has responded to the request, and is now working through the process with them.
Curiously, according to the update, the SHA has yet to respond, which may place it in a precarious position with the Information and Privacy Commissioner as the response time limit of 30 days has been exceeded.
