After holding focus groups in Newfoundland and Labrador, CNIB created this legal information handbook to provide helpful responses to some of the most common questions we heard.
In the handbook below, you’ll find:
- An overview of your most important legal rights related to healthcare
- Answers to common questions like
- "When prescribed medication, I’ve been given instructions and information that is not in an accessible format. What can I do?"
- "I’ve been told that I have to pay for my healthcare-related accommodations – is this true?"
- Links to helpful legal services and community supports
The Know Your Rights legal Information handbooks are available in two different formats:
If you’d like to receive this handbook in Braille or DAISY format, please email knowyourrights@cnib.ca. Did this handbook answer your question or did it connect you to a helpful resource? Please let us know!
