Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the reprimand for delayed transmission of the patient file was arbitrary under Art. 9 Cst. and Art. 110 LPS.
Decisione estratta
The reprimand was not arbitrary; the delay was inadmissible and could be sanctioned as incorrect professional conduct.
Motivazione estratta
Access to one’s medical file is a fundamental patient right. The dentist’s prolonged delay, despite reminders, seriously interfered with that right. A severe sanction was therefore permissible.
