Does anyone know if it is possible to search records of staff and patients in West Heath Sanitorium in 1958?

A family member was in this hospital with TB in 1958 and through family members I have a forename of someone they were close to whilst in there. We don’t know how if this was a patient or a member of staff working there.

I would like to find out if there is any way I can look for this information or anyone who may be able to help?
 
If such a list exists it is probably subject to the 100 year rule - meaning access is closed except for exceptional reasons.

If you would like to send me your email address I could send you copies of pages of a book I have on West Heath Hospital.
