- GECKO:0000064 (residence)
definition
For activity from 2011-12 onwards, HES users are advised to use the field RESCTY_ONS instead of RESCTY.
This field contains a code that defines the county of residence of the patient. It is derived from the patient's postcode in the field homeadd (postcode of patient).
Note that this field uses old-style geographical codes that were superseded in 2011 and are now no longer supported by ONS. The field RESCTY_ONS represents the county of residence using codes from the current ONS geographical coding system.
