Biographical history
The working party was established by the College in July 1980 in order "To consider developments in further specialisation within the field of obstetrics and gynaecology, including training implications, and to make recommendations" (minutes 6 Nov 1980: ref M12/1). The working party first met in November 1980. It presented its report to Council in 1982. The report was published as a discussion document in November 1982.
Archival history
Not certain, but the secretary to the College Secretary provided administrative support for the working party, so some of the material may have passed to the Archives by the College Secretary's Office. There is also a considerable quantity of President's correspondence included, so other material may have come from the President's Office.
