The First Nations Health Ombudsperson for Saskatchewan is speaking out over an incident at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon.
Dr. Dianne Lafond, the First Nations Health Ombudsperson for the province, says Corina Morin, a 54-year-old First Nations woman, had her hair shaved without consent at the hospital this past June.
Lafond says the woman was medically incapacitated and was unable to provide informed consent to have her hair shaved.
