Hi
Does anyone in the NHS have a particular retention period for health
records of patients with asbestosis? There is no special retention
mentioned in the DOH Code of Practice and the The Control of Asbestos at
Work Regulations only seems to apply to records of employees (40 years)
which would be held by the employer (such as occupational health
records), not patient/hospital records. Would appreciate any comments.
Many thanks
