Are the 2001 census categories included in Clinical Terms?
The 16 categories for responding to the ethnic group question in the England and Wales census forms are represented in all versions of the March 2001 release of Clinical Terms (The Read codes) onwards, along with a code for “Ethnic group not recorded” to conform to the 16+1 framework as described in Annex 1 of DSCN 02/2001. The DSCN (Data Set Change Notice ) is a document from the NHSIA Data and Information Standards Programme which describes a framework for coding ethnic groups for both patient and workforce-related aggregation.
