NHS Data Elements

When retrieving the current hyperlinks from the data elements page of R it is known that not all of these elements will have National Code tables. If a National Code table does not exist for the selected lookup table, then you will receive a message stating the lookup table requested does not exist and to try another lookup table. If you check this, you will see that the relevant data elements page of the NHS Data Dictionary does not contain that specific national codes table.
