Health service guidelines
These were used to convey standing guidance to NHS authorities on policy and operational matters. They were replaced by health service circulars in 1998, but some may still apply. Health service guidelines for 1997 are displayed here. Use the publications and letters library to find earlier ones, from 1995.
