NHS Trusts have a duty to select and transfer those of their records which have permanent value to the National Archives or an appointed place of deposit at or before they reach 30 years old.
Guidance and forms for practitioners involved in the sensitivity review and transfer of public records to The National Archives and other archives services.
This toolkit has been produced to provide guidance on editing exempt material from information held by public bodies. Its purpose is to promote good records management practice across the public sector and to assist in the implementation of the Freedom of Information Act.
Government departments preparing records for transfer to The National Archives should review the access requirements of those records in order to identify material that: should be retained, should be transferred to The National Archives as closed, or as open.
This page sets out the circumstances in which material is taken down from our
websites, and/or information previously available in transferred public records is
reclosed.
