----------------------------

ISD Library holds an excellent collection of NHS Scotland circulars, dating from 1948. We also maintain the Scottish Government Health Directorates' publications database on SHOW, and publish individual circulars and the Weekly Bulletin on SHOW.


- we have marked in red those letters which do not appear in our print archive. If you have a copy of any of these, please send or e-mail a copy to us.


- to search this index, please press and hold down the Ctrl key then the letter F key and enter the term you wish to find.


- items in blue underline link to full versions of the letters on SHOW.

- this index ceases with the letters of 2001, since all CMOs after then have their own separate entry in the database and can be found by a normal search.
