Comment	The list here was compiled by the Women's History Project team in the late 1990s. As far as we are aware the records are in the care of the HSE. The response to a request to the HSE for information regarding these records suggests their whereabouts is unknown. However, we believe that this material is still on the hospital premises. We were unable to ascertain from the HSE the present location of these records but believe they are still housed in St Otteran's Hospital.
