Organisation

Organisations associated with resources in the extract e.g. the patient's registered practice, the organisation providing a service that a patient is referred to, the organisations that practitioners work for. Where the organisation has an Organisation Data Service (ODS) code, it is expected that minimal additional organisation information beyond the ODS code will be supplied.
