Read has been merged with SNOMED and rechristened (avoiding any embarrassing
history by changing the printed name) as SNOMED-?? where the ?? used to be CT
but I think has changed.
So single coding system. Combining all useful dictionaries and thesauruses,
and mapping like terms to the vicinity of each other is the only sensible way
of handling such things, and I'm really quite pleasantly surprised to see
this has snuck in.
