In 1967 the RCOG, in collaboration with the Simon Population Trust, carried out a survey among practising gynaecologists in order to determine their views and experience of the sterilisation of women, and the extent to which this operation was carried out in NHS hospitals. The results of the survey were subsequently written up in a report under the joint authorship of Sir John Peel, PRCOG, and Mr C P Blacker, Chairman of the Simon Population Trust. The report was published in the British Medical Journal in March 1969.

The file was probably at some stage removed from the College President's papers.

Correspondence between the RCOG President, Sir John Peel, and the Simon Population Trust concerning the enquiry into the sterilisation of women; statistical results of the survey; draft and final copies of the subsequent report, 1967-1969.

No further accruals are expected.
