The issue of read codes seems to me superfluous. There are so
many variances in usage practice to practice as to make the coding seem
ridiculous Each practice sorts out its own usable code and ones it wants to
audit collect data on etc. There seems little chance of usable data NHS wide
so I am really lost as to why we discuss all the hierachal stuff; pick the
codes you want and get on with it the rest is a diversion. I fear GP IT and
NHS IT have taken such diverse paths as to make some uniformity now almost
impossible
