Thanks to all who responded to my query on collective journal archives.
I've now obtained useful information for us to build on.

> 2. The storage and delivery of patient records. Who is in charge?
> 3. Are the records bar coded and charged out like for instance
> books in a

> 4. Do all the individual wards have access to a patient’s records

> 5. Are all the records perhaps electronically registered so that
