本系列档案涵盖医疗与辐射卫生委员会（Medical and Radiation Hygiene Committee）历次会议的议程及配套文件，该委员会负责审议并提出辐射咨询委员会（Radiation Advisory Council）移交的、与辐射装置及放射性物质许可相关事务的建议。根据1990年《辐射管制法》（Radiation Control Act 1990）第31条，辐射咨询委员会可设立委员会以协助其履行职能。该委员会可通过组建具备高度权限与自主性的专项委员会，扩充自身可调用的专业知识与经验储备，用以审议、提出建议并处理两类事务：一是涉及人员接受医学辐射照射的相关事项，二是与非医学辐射照射可能产生的后果相关的事项。1991年6月，该委员会由医疗辐射与健康物理委员会（Medical Radiation and Health Physics Committee）接替。相关档案以文件夹收纳，并按档案编号进行整理。
