Dr John Walshe: Wilson's Disease

The following is an interim description which may change when detailed cataloguing takes place in future:

Please note that this archive is largely made up of patient data that is highly sensitive in nature. When the archive is catalogued, the patient data will require closure for the lifetime of the data subjects in accordance with the 1998 Data Protection Act. We anticipate that it will not be possible to make patient records from the archive available for research before 2084 at the earliest.
