       From the Medical Superintendent

       Helena Hall, 2nd April 1970

      Dear Dr Meadows

      Thank you for your letter in reference to your student Patricia Morton. We are always keen to support the work of bona fide research projects, and will certainly endeavour to provide her with the contacts and other information that she seeks.

      However, before giving permission we would like your personal written confirmation that she will observe the following:

       All interviews must be carried out anonymously, and no information which might identify the patient or staff member must appear in the final publication.

       No patient may be interviewed without their prior informed consent, supported by their psychiatric consultant and, where appropriate, a key family member.

       Any member of staff must seek the prior written consent of their senior manager.

      In regards to former staff members and patients, Eastchester Mental Health Service has no jurisdiction, but we would seek your reassurance that Ms Morton will observe the same conditions of confidentiality as above. I am sure she will appreciate that, in terms of research data, existing and former patients may not be the most reliable of informants. Most, if not all, will have suffered
