Com a 3 m Manitoba health officials have refused to disclose the number of tuberculosis cases on first nations saying to do so could harm relations with the Federal government. The free press filed a Freedom of information request in june regarding the number of to cases on reserves after provincial statistics revealed the majority of to cases in Manitoba occur on first nations and in Stony Mountain institution. The request was made to provincial officials since Federal health officials told the free press they do not track diseases on reserves. The Public health officials denied the free press request saying it could harm relations Between the two Levels of government. The free press has filed a formal complaint with the Manitoba ombudsman. The disclosure of this information would seriously impede collaborative work Between Manitoba health and healthy living and health Canada on the integration of Public health services across jurisdictions a letter from Manitoba Healths Access and privacy division states. It could also Lead to loss of Trust with first nation leadership since authorization has not been received from these communities to disclose the information.

Grand chief Ron Evans petitioned Canadas auditor general to investigate rising infection rates on reserves. To has Long been a Scourge in first nation communities particularly in Manitoba.

Between january and june the latest available data 46 cases of respiratory to were reported across Manitoba. Health minister Theresa Oswald said Sheds asked the Deputy minister to Forward the Access request to the Manitoba ombudsman to get an Independent decision. She said the government is trying to be As open As we can with the Public but that releasing disease information from Small communities could be an invasion of privacy. She said disclosing where to cases have occurred could identify patients and discourage people from seeking medical attention in future. Public health officials Are quite concerned about the Small nature of these communities and that divulging this information could very quickly in no time Flat in fact identify individual patients Oswald said. Evans said first nation communities have an understanding with the province that their information will be protected for privacy reasons. He said sometimes the communities dont want to share the information. However he said potential jurisdictional conflicts is a not a reason to withhold to information. That information impede the work thatus done Between the governments Evans said. In fact that information should assist them in a greater Way to put More resources toward health issues. Unlike other disease outbreaks like listeria or e. Coli Manitoba health does not Send out Public notices or information on How to contain the spread of to. To bacteria can be spread to others by coughing or sneezing in the air.
