Medical Archives for Sarsfield Court

[CaroleW]

Would anyone know where the medical files for a patient of Sarsfield Court would be held? A deceased relative of mine was treated there in 1964/1965 and i'm trying to find out what the condition was. I know he received the last rights while there but he survived and was released about a month later.

How were we to know you were an executor?  Nothing in your post or replies and the admission was 59yrs ago.

This is a link to Patient records at CUH it might be possible to contact the HSE re St. Stephen's hospital records.     It states you can apply for a deceased patient's records under the "Freedom of Information Act".    How long they have kept records from the  60s I don't know.  A lot of site say they are only retained up to  10 years after someone dies with some exceptions for younger people.

On other sites it states that Patient records are held for a maximum of 10 years.

Did you phone St. Stephen's hospital.  It is still operating as a hospital.   


Hope this helps.

Sarsfield Court was a Tuberculosis Sanatorium in the 1960's. I had an aunt who was treated there in 1962/1963.
