چکیده

Sir, In his letter (March Journal, p.127) Dr Kopelowitz states that as far as he can ascertain, the state made no arrangements whatsoever for providing stationery for recording medical notes before 1921. In fact a form was agreed in 1912 'following the model of an ordinary day book "such as doctors keep in connection with their private patients" '.I These forms were found to be unsatisfactory and in 1913 card forms were introduced in two parts. At the end of each year the part with the name of the patient and details of attendances was sent to the insurance committee (forerunner of the family practitioner committee or health board), while the other part, containing particulars of illnesses and summary of attendances (unidentified, to preserve confidentiality) was sent to the insurance commissioners. These forms remained in use until the beginning of 1917 when 'because of pressure on practitioners consequent on the withdrawal of so many of their number on military service'2 the insurance commissioners decided as a temporary measure to suspend the obligation to keep records. Medical record envelopes, as Dr Kopelowitz states, were introduced in 1921, following the report of the Rolleston committee: 'The envelopes should be of practically the same form and size as the old record cards, so that the cabinets which have been in use for keeping these may continue to be so utilized'
