As the content of the series primarily consists of correspondence and papers of C J Dewhurst PRCOG, a member of the working party, and also some official correspondence of the Chairman, T L T Lewis, it appears likely therefore that the President's P A may have performed some secretarial duties for the working party and later passed the records to the Archives.

The establishment of the Royal Commission on the National Health Service (NHS) was announced by the government in 1975. It was to consider the "best use and management of the financial and manpower resources of the NHS" (see the introduction to the minute book of the working party at M15M/1). The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) working party on evidence to the Royal Commission was set up on 16 June 1976, under the chairmanship of T L T Lewis, by the Finance and Executive Committee in order to submit evidence to the Commission on behalf of the College.
