April 2017 digital vector boundaries for Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in England, provided by the Office for National Statistics.

It contains Ordnance Survey and ONS intellectual property rights.

Use Cases

Strengths

• Documents specific corrections to boundaries, listing eight LSOAs moved between CCGs in version 4.
• Contains intellectual property from Ordnance Survey and ONS, suggesting authoritative source data.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
