definition
For activity from 2011-12 onwards, HES users are advised to use the field RESGOR_ONS instead of RESGOR
The Government Office Region of residence field contains a code that defines the Government Office Region of residence of the patient. It is derived from the patient's postcode in the field homeadd. The Government Office Regions closed on 31 March 2011, but this regional geography is maintained for statistical purposes and after this date referred to simply as 'regions'.
Note that this field uses old-style geographical codes that were superseded in 2011 and are now no longer supported by ONS. The field RESGOR_ONS represents the Government Office Region of residence using codes from the current ONS geographical coding system.
