'Z files' series, 1998-2005
GB 249 OEDA/C/1/3 · Subseries · 1993, 1998-2005
Part of Occupational and Environmental Diseases Association (William Ashton Tait) Archives

'Z files' were part of a new workflow for triaging queries on asbestos-related disease, implemented in the OEDA office from June 1998. The majority of Z-cases closed with a standard reply. However, a number of them grew into more substantial exchanges including coroner's and/or postmortem reports, clinicians' notes, and compensation and benefits claim information.

The workflow came with instructions on office procedures for processing 'First reports' to 'Z-cases'.
