A Nova Scotia politician has been threatened with legal action over a social media post about a woman who died in hospital after waiting to be seen for several hours.
Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin, an Independent member of the legislature, says the province's justice department told her to take down a letter from her Facebook page that she had written to Health Minister Michelle Thompson.
In the letter, Smith-McCrossin names 37-year-old Allison Holthoff, and describes her as a wife and mother of three who died on New Year's Eve.
In an email dated January 6th, the Justice Department warned that the Nova Scotia government would consider ``all available'' legal options if personal health information continues to be shared online.
