Dear Helen
As far as I know we havn't cracked this electronic signature yet.
At Sheffield the requester can download the form but still needs to sign the
form before sending it in to us.They need to do this first because a lot of the
requests are going direct to the reader.
I would be interested to hear of any other arrangements.
