May 2025 monthly summary for nhsconnect/national-document-repository focusing on the Lloyd George historic records stitching capability. Delivered a targeted enhancement to stitch historic Lloyd George records by ODS code with a manual trigger, enabling controlled data repair workflows. Key work included refactoring the PDF stitching handler to distinguish between SQS-triggered processing and manual triggers, and adding a function to retrieve NHS numbers by ODS code and enqueue them for stitching. These changes improve data completeness for historical records, enable operational control, and lay groundwork for future ODS-based stitching automation.
