GB 1538 RCOG/D4 1960-1972 fonds 1 box Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists

In 1968, the Ministry of Health was dissolved and its functions transferred (along with those of the similarly dissolved Ministry of Social Security) to the newly created Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS). (Twenty years later, these functions were split back into two government departments, forming the Department of Social Security (DSS) and the current Department of Health.)

Artificial series of records: most of the material was removed from the papers of College Presidents, College Secretaries and Honorary Secretaries.

It is probable that C7/1-3 were removed from President's correspondence files. The records at C7/4-5 were transferred to the Archives by the Committee Secretary, Administration Department. The 1993 report on GP vocational training in obstetrics and gynaecology (C7/5) was found amongst President's papers for that year.

Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists' correspondence with the Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS) and its predecessors. Also papers of Sir Norman Jeffcoate whilst chair of the DHSS Joint Sub Committee on Prevention of Haemolytic Disease of the Newborn.

Later correspondence and papers are found within their correct administrative context.

As set out above in Scope and Content.
