Inking New Born Children

The request was successful.

Dear Northern Health and Social Care Trust (Northern Ireland),

I am requesting information as per the following:

a) have any hospitals under your trust or historical trusts that are now combined, ever or still do place ink on a new born baby's feet and place the feet on a document or certificate to make a print (i.e a footprint) as a recording of the birth?.
b) If so, are those records held at the hospital or a UK
government department and can the owner i.e, baby who is now an adult obtain a copy of those records?

Yours faithfully,

hugh mc cloy
