Abstract
In the last of this series of three articles a short analysis is made of the time limits within which medical negligence claims can be brought and the implications of this for record keeping. Because of the potentially lengthy time limits which exist in certain cases, doctors and health authorities must appreciate the need to keep accurate records for, in some cases, as long as 35 years after conclusion of treatment.
