In addition, hospital records are subject to a period of restricted access in order to protect the confidentiality of living individuals. It is therefore not possible for members of the public to consult records in person which contain information about patients who may still be alive.
Records more than 85 years old can be consulted in the London Metropolitan Archives archive study area by members of the public. You need to have a history card now to consult records at LMA which can be obtained on the registration link.
