Other informationmight be coded to even larger units such as local government areas, which cut across boundaries. There will be some residents and employees of adjoiningcontract regions that will be affected by decisions relating to Contract Region 13, because they live or work or go to school close to, but outside, the boundary.Even though information is from different sources, which are not necessarily completely consistent, they do provide useful background information togenerally assist the service planning process.
