LSOA (2011) to Clinical Commissioning Group to STP to Cancer Alliances and National Cancer

A 15MB lookup file maps 2011 lower layer super output areas (LSOAs) to various English National Health Service administrative boundaries as of 1 April 2018. Published by the Office for National Statistics, it includes nine text fields such as LSOA11CD, CCG18NM, and CALNCV18NM. The data reflects newly formed Clinical Commissioning Groups and boundary changes for entities like NHS Fylde and Wyre CCG.

Use Cases

• Mapping patient populations to cancer alliance regions based on LSOA codes.
• Analyzing the geographic distribution of Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs).
• Joining health outcome data to administrative boundaries using the provided LSOA11CD and CCG18CD codes.

Strengths

• File size is explicitly stated as 15MB, indicating a substantial lookup table.
• Field names, types, and maximum character lengths (e.g., 33 for LSOA11NM, 65 for STP18NM) are documented.
• Specifically documents newly formed CCGs and code changes due to a boundary change on 1 April 2018.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last updated 2026-07-08 13:32:16.556640; freshness should be verified for current administrative boundaries.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the specific snapshot date and source.
