answer text <p>NHS England, in collaboration with other bodies, will shortly produce guidance that advises on the codes for data collection, including those for ethnicity. National Health Service organisations continue to use the 2001 codes in order to support consistency with other data systems within the NHS. NHS organisations can choose to use either the 2001 or the 2011 categories.</p><p> </p><p>Additional codes can be included as appropriate at a local level to reflect the demographic make-up of the local population. This allows local monitoring to take place in a way that supports service planning, decision-making, and key processes such as the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment.</p><p> </p><p>We envisage this position will be revisited, with decisions to change this advice based upon the breadth of utilisation of the new coding system.</p><p> </p><p>The Department, Public Health England and NHS England are together considering the findings and recommendations in the report from the National Inclusion Health Board.</p><p> </p>
