**Description**
This data package contains the Abeyance and Dispersal General Practitioners (GP) Codes that are a part of this data package. The Organization Data Service (ODS) is provided by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC). It is responsible for the publication of all organization and practitioner codes and national policy and standards with regard to the majority of organization codes and encompasses the functionality and services previously provided by the National Administrative Codes Service (NACS). These code standards form part of the NHS data standards. For dispensaries in England, each dispensary can only be linked to one Headquarter (HQ). Data for General Medical Practices, General Medical Practitioners (GPs), Prescribing Cost Centres and Dispensaries are supplied by the National Health Service (NHS) Prescription Services and are used to facilitate their remit to remunerate dispensing contractors and provide the NHS with financial, prescribing and drug information.

Hospital General Information and Performance Measures include a list of all hospitals that have been registered with Medicare. Hospital Compare provides information on how well hospitals provide recommended care to their patients. This information can help consumers make informed decisions about where to go for health care. Hospital Compare allows consumers to select multiple hospitals and directly compare performance measure information as it includes measures on Mortality, Safety of Care, Readmissions, Patients' Experience, Timeliness of Care, Effectiveness of Care and Efficient Use of Medical Imaging.

This data package also includes a list of long-term care hospitals. Long Term Care Hospitals (LTCHs) provide care to patients with medically complex problems. These complex diagnoses include Traumatic Brain Injury, conditions requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation, paralysis, very significant wound care, and other conditions resulting in organ failure resulting in the patient requiring a hospital-level of care for an extended period.
