The MPSP files are organized into three general groups: administration files (contact information, correspondence, briefing notes, reports, media relations), provincial/territorial files (correspondence with other jurisdictions, lists of institutions and cemeteries), and patient files (correspondence, forms relating to the patient, memos to file).
