Failure on behalf of The Royal, The Ottawa Hospital to notify the Substitute Decision Maker (PG&T) per Section 43 of the HCCA

Did TOH and ROMHC not fail to provide the SDM (the office of the OPGT) with notice of my advance directive (see evidence package submitted by Dr. Rogers for clear evidence they were made aware of my wish/advance directive on the day of my admission, February 25, which was before March 11). I made the TOH and Dr. Bardell aware of it too back during my admission there.Dr. Baines knew about since July 2024 and she was contacted by Dr. Bardell.What gives? Here is Section 43 of the Health Care Consent Act

43 (1) Before giving or refusing consent on an incapable person’s behalf to his or her admission to a care facility, a substitute decision-maker is entitled to receive all the information required in order to make the decision.  1996, c. 2, Sched. A, s. 43.

Conflict

(2) Subsection (1) prevails despite anything to the contrary in the Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004.  2004, c. 3, Sched. A, s. 84 (8).
