1 INTRODUCTION 

The NTA are responsible for the performance management of drug treatment services in England. 

The framework within which this treatment is commissioned and provided is documented in Models of 

Care, 2006 and NTA Guidance on Commissioning of Young People’s Specialist Substance Misuse 

Treatment Services (forthcoming). 

This document establishes the Reference Data in use within NTA in support of this objective – for 

example, in supporting relevant computer systems. 

Reference data is defined as (relatively) static data. Generally, it is employed as a means of validating 

data entry, and will typically be used to control the contents of drop-down lists etc. 

All reference data items are applicable to Young People and Adults unless specified 

otherwise. 

This document is intended to be a definitive and accessible source for use, primarily by NTA 

personnel. It is not intended to be read from end to end, rather as a reference document, which is 

utilised by a variety of readerships, including: 

• Interpreters of data provided from NTA systems 

• Suppliers of systems to NTA 

• Suppliers of systems which interface to NTA-systems 

• NTA/NDTMS personnel. 

Page 7 of 73


2 CHANGE CONTROL 

As this document is the ultimate definition for NDTMS reference data, three consequences follow: 

• The behaviour of the NDTMS system must strictly adhere to the latest approved version of 

this document. 

• Only the latest approved version of this document has any significance. 

• The person who is performing the role of NDTMS Programme Manager can only make 

approval of new versions of this document. 

For internal data, the details contained in this document are the master definitions of such data, 

extending to issues such as upper/lower case, hyphenation, punctuation etc. 

For external data, this document defines the owner of the master data, and any timing details of 

when changes in such external data are adopted by NDTMS. 

For example, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) may up-issue the Ethnicity Codes, but it may not 

suit the NTA if these new values were to be suddenly and uncontrollably adopted by the NTA, and so 

the NDTMS Programme Manager needs to control the timing of when this new version of the Ethnicity 

Codes were to be introduced. 

Page 8 of 73


3 TREATMENT OUTCOME PROFILES (TOP) 

The TOP was developed as a clinical outcome monitoring tool suitable for drug misuse treatment. 

Because there is not the same professional consensus that TOP is an equally suitable clinical outcome 

tool for alcohol treatment, TOP returns have never been required within the NATMS guidance, even 

though the option to provide such returns was made available to practitioners. 

To avoid future misunderstanding, the Department of Health is considering removing the TOP data 

items from the NATMS although this may not be possible before April 2011. 

The data that has been provided at a national level to date will be analysed to make use of any 

learning from the returns, although this dataset cannot be validly analysed down to a local level."

5.4 Agency codes: 

Each treatment provider is assigned with an Agency Code. Responsibility for allocating a code is the 

responsibility of the relevant Regional Database Manager. 

A general guideline is that the code should comprise of two parts: 

• A single letter which is intended to indicate the NTA Region which ‘manages’ that agency – 

see above 

• An identifier (one to six alphanumeric characters) which uniquely identifies that treatment 

provider, within the region. 

This guideline will ensure uniqueness of the Agency code on a national basis. 

As at Sept 2004, two regions had exceptions to this convention: 

• East Midlands region has a small number of agencies beginning with P (i.e. the South East 

code) – these were originally part of the South East region, but which were later ‘moved’ due 

to a boundary re-arrangement. 

• North West region’s usage of agency codes has an idiosyncrasy - the character ‘M’ is used for 

Merseyside agencies. 

As the scope of treatment providers included in NDTMS increased (e.g. inclusion of EMIS GPs), it is 

envisaged that additional coding strategies for Agency codes will be adopted – where these strategies 

fall outside the general guideline, the NTA Region will need to liaise with NTA to ensure that agency 

codes are not duplicated on a national basis. 

Examples of agency codes include L43, W1019 and UAR1. 

Treatment providers have been deemed too volatile to be included in this document - for the current 

definitive list of agency codes in a region, please refer to the relevant Regional Database Manager. 

Snapshots of the agency lists are also given on the relevant regional pages on the NTA website.

5.7 Post Code mappings 

Post code mappings are used to establish/validate the NHS organisational area (e.g. PCT) in which a 

client is resident. This information is mastered by NHSIA [4]. 

Page 14 of 73


5.8 Accommodation Need codes 

There are two sets of accommodation needs – depending if the treatment provider provides services 

to: 

• Adults 

• Young People 

The set of accommodation needs to be used by a specific treatment provider should be agreed with 

the regional database manager.

5.62 NHS organisational areas (SHAs and PCTs) 

A list of those currently implemented in NDTMS is given in Appendix B. This shows the structure of, 

and relationship between the following: 

• Region 

• Strategic Health Authority (SHA) 

• Primary Care Trust (PCT). 

Additionally, this table also shows for each PCT, the Partnership for which they should receive any 

reports, which are only published at Partnership level. 

This table should NOT be used to attempt to map PCTs to Partnerships - PCT boundaries and 

Partnership boundaries often have little in common, so that one PCT may physically straddle three 

Partnerships. 

The list of PCTs in the UK is also accessible from the following URL: 

https://www.nhs.uk/aboutnhs/HowtheNHSworks/Pages/NHSstructure.aspx 

For Scotland, Community Health Partnership’s (CHP) are the equivalent of PCTs – [7] 

Additionally APPENDIX C - lists the PCTs and Partnerships for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Isle 

of Man and the codes for Outside UK.

5.63 Mental Health Trusts 

A list of trusts which provide mental health services is given in APPENDIX E - . 

Accordingly, this list is not restricted to just those trusts which are entitled ‘Mental Health Trusts’, as 

some other NHS Trusts include mental health in the services they provide. 

The list of Mental Health Trusts is also accessible from the following URL: 

https://www.nhs.uk/servicedirectories/Pages/MentalHealthTrustListing.aspx 

5.64 Treatment provider types 

Each treatment provider is assigned one (and only one) of the following ‘type’ designations: 

Code Type Comments Sort 

Order 

1 GP 3 

2 Inpatient 1 

3 Outpatient 2 

5.65 Region codes 

Each region has been assigned two different identifiers: 

• A single character code 

• A two character code 

These identifiers are used in various different NDTMS scenarios – but in any one scenario, only one is 

relevant, and they are never mixed.
