To access administrative records
You can submit a written request by filling out the appropriate form on the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec website.
All requests for first responder intervention reports on our territory must be sent to Urgences-santé.
Specify the document you want as precisely as possible, for example by describing its nature or specific subject. It is difficult, if not impossible, to fill your request if you ask for all the documentation on a given topic.
Access to information officers are not required to provide documents they do not already possess. They will not, for example, produce a new report based on research on a subject you have requested.
Access to information requests can be made over the phone. However, under Section 45 of the Act respecting Access, only a decision on a written request may be submitted to the Commission d’accès à l’information for review.

To obtain a document on a pre-hospitalization intervention, please request and fill out the Authorization to release information contained in the medical record form. It must be signed by the user or their legal representative. The request must be accompanied by a copy of one piece of ID.
To obtain a copy of an Act of Death (SP-3) produced by an Urgences-santé physician, please fill out the Act of Death Request form (PDF) and attach a supporting document proving your relationship with the deceased. If the death was not pronounced by Urgences-santé, please note that the original death certificates are compiled in the Registre des événements démographiques (RED). It is therefore also possible to obtain a copy of a death certificate (SP-3) by sending a request to the person in charge of protection of personal information at the the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux at: msss_prp@msss.gouv.qc.ca.
Note: In the event of a coroner’s investigation, Urgences-santé does not produce an Act of Death (SP-3). Please send your request to the coroner’s office.
