LSOA to CCG and STP Lookup: England's 2017 Healthcare and Administrative Geography

A 9 MB lookup file from the Office for National Statistics maps 2011 Lower Layer Super Output Areas to 2017 Clinical Commissioning Groups, Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships, and Local Authority Districts in England. This version specifically includes newly formed CCGs such as NHS North Cumbria CCG (E38000215) to resolve splits between STPs. The data provides a snapshot of administrative and healthcare geographies as of 1 April 2017.

Use Cases

• Link public health statistics from LSOA-level to CCG-level based on the 2017 administrative boundaries mentioned in the description.
• Analyze healthcare service coverage across Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) using the provided geographic lookup.
• Join demographic or socioeconomic data from Local Authority Districts (LADs) to Clinical Commissioning Groups for resource allocation studies.

Strengths

• File size is explicitly stated as 9 MB, indicating a manageable download.
• Lookup resolves a specific administrative issue by ensuring NHS North Cumbria CCG is not split between two STPs.
• Contains codes and names for four distinct geographic entity types (LSOA, CCG, STP, LAD).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data reflects a specific snapshot from April 2017 and may not reflect later boundary changes.
