answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2024 answer text <p>There has never been a single National Health Service number system across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Prior to the introduction of the current 10-digit format NHS number in 1995/96, there were 22 different NHS number formats in existence; one of these was the Northern Ireland NHS number format. The rationalisation that took place introduced the common format we have now. Whilst a common format NHS number is in use there has never been a decision for a single database operating across both authorities.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 11/01/2024 18:37:16 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson previous answer version 10515 answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
