Data Description
Name and address information and identifying codes for Trusts and non Health and Personal Social Services (HPSS) Provider/Organisations in Northern Ireland.
How Data is Maintained
In Northern Ireland, there is little or no change to the main organisations (boards/trusts) on a quarterly basis. If and when there are to be changes, Health and Social Care Northern Ireland (HSCNI) will find out from contacts in other directorates, rather than through any official lines of communication. The ODS contact is made aware through attendance at various meetings, if things such as trust mergers are planned and takes the initiative with regard to the creation of an organisation code which would then be circulated to the service and ODS.
