Ward:Health Matrix

The Ward:Health Matrix is an annual electronic publication listing the names and codes of the electoral wards/divisions (by local authority) occurring in each health authority across the UK. The information is ordered within each of the Health Boards (Scotland), Local Health Boards (Wales), Strategic Health Authorities (England) and Health and Social Services Boards (Northern Ireland). The Ward:Health Matrix was first produced in July 2005 and replaces the two products, the Area of Residence Classification and NHS Organisation Manual, which contained the same information prior to that date.

The publication supports the coding framework used in the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Geography's NHS postcode directories and is supplied to the NHS and other health-related organisations, as well as customers in many different work areas of ONS.
