DETAILED DEFINITION

6. Delivery Location Postcode (A23) is matched to the postcode file for that year to obtain the LSC Office (A_DPLLSC), the region (A_DPREG), the Local Authority (A_DPLA) and the three local authority ward fields A_DPWARD, A_DPWA01 and A_DPWA03, that the delivery location is based in.


Location of the Delivery Provider (Aim Level) Sample Code

1. The following SPSS code is provided to illustrate the Location of the Delivery Provider (Aim Level) data definition.

A_DPLLSC, A_DPWARD, A_DPWA01, A_DPWA03, A_DPLA, A_DPREG

2. The following table shows the steps required to derive A_DPREG

Step Condition Action/Action if true Action if false
1 If A_DPLLSC=2 A_DPREG=NC  
2 If A_DPLLSC=3 A_DPREG=NS
3 If A_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (60 to 110) A_DPREG=EE  
4 If A_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (10 to 50) A_DPREG=EM  
5 If A_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (120 to 160) A_DPREG=GL  
6 If A_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (170 to 200) A_DPREG=NE  
7 If A_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (210 to 250) A_DPREG=NW  
8 If A_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (260 to 310) A_DPREG=SE  
9 If A_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (320 to 370) A_DPREG=SW  
10 If A_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (380 to 430) A_DPREG=WM  
11 If A_DPLLSC is in the inclusive range (440 to 470) A_DPREG=YH  
12 If A_DPLLSC=490 A_DPREG=NO  
13 If no value in A_DPLLSC A_DPREG=NA
