Arrangement (Information about the filing sequence or logical order of the record)

Arrangement
The records are arranged in yearly folders from 1909. Before 1920 no consistent system of numeration or coding was in use and the circulars, notices, forms etc are arranged in date order. A uniform system of identifying circulars by GRO prefix and numbered consecutively within the year of issue was introduced in 1920 and the circulars are arranged in series order. The prefix Reg W was adopted for the series issued from April 1939 until 1946 and numbered consecutively during 1939. The GRO prefix was resumed in 1947 and two further separate series were introduced in 1950 for Medical Officers of Health GRO (MOH), and general GRO (GEN) circulars, numbered consecutively within the year of issue.
