Iona - have a look at the South & West healthcare libraries' policy on
http://www.swimsnetwork.nhs.uk (Policies, see list on the left) - our
policy is based on that. It's brief but useful.
In addition, we keep an eye on recurrent new editions such as the Mental
Health Act Manual.
Hope this helps. I'll be happy to discuss further if you like.
Regards

Subject: Weeding policies/frameworks
Does anyone have a weeding policy they could share? (or any tips/hints)
I'm especially interested to see if people have a policy relating to how
long they keep items on prescribing/pharmacology and legal items, or if
they do it on a basis of knowledge eg when new legislation comes in
anything covering the old legislation is got rid of.
Thanks
