Scope and Content
Correspondence (including telephone memoranda), notes and papers. In alphabetical order by name of individual or organisation; this could be a victim of industrial disease or family member, or a social worker, nurse, case worker in a charity, asbestos activist (etc.). Normally filed by enquirer / occasionally by name mentioned in press coverage.
Papers include victim's work history, inquest reports and death certificates, clinician's notes. There is some overlap with solicitor's correspondence.
Notes suggest that some queries were 'diaried', i.e. they received a review date. Other notes suggest that occasionally content from 'Q'-files was removed to a case file. Notes also suggest that while in Q-state, the information stayed with SPAID / OEDA staff, rather than with Nancy Tait.Access Information
