Newsham General Hospital Liverpool.  My great grandmother was in there in the mid to late 1960s, can I get any records of this at all,or is there a waiting period?

i am also wanting information from newsham general hospital.  my grandmother was there in 1946.  this was before it became nhs.  you may find yours in the nhs records.

thankyou for the reply.  not for me but hope the other enquirer sees the message.

It looks as though some records are available at Liverpool Record Office

thankyou.  i did actually go there but there are no records to open, seems just information and the bottom link takes you to a hospital record in sheffield.

I think a lot of medical records are 'locked' for 100 years 

[anglokiwi]

yes, or 75 years

That would make more sense, I know it is a long time
