PERSON GENDER CODE

A code to identify the PERSON GENDER.

Description

A code to identify the PERSON GENDER.

The classification is phenotypical rather than genotypical, i.e. it does not provide codes for medical or scientific purposes.

Notes:

  • National Code 'Not Known' means that the sex of a PERSON has not been recorded

  • National Code 'Not Specified' means indeterminate, i.e. unable to be classified as either male or female.

Note: This was  e-GIF  approved for use in NHS England. e-GIF  and the Government Data Standards Catalogue   have been archived and are available for reference only.

PERSON GENDER CODE  will be replaced with PERSON STATED GENDER CODE  or PERSON PHENOTYPIC SEX CLASSIFICATION, which is the most recent approved national information standard to describe the required definition.
