Documentation

Description

This data is provided in a format based upon the SCI-Store system. SCI-Store is a data repository which retains patient laboratory test result information at a health board level. Data prior to 2007 for Tayside has been transformed to fit this structure. Fife data starts in 2005 and all originates from SCI-Store. There is earlier data available for Fife.
