The Community Services Data Set collects information for people who are in contact with NHS-funded Community Health Services.
This release is useable from July 2020.
Release 1.5.1 replaces release 1.5 and includes “xs:choice” within the “xs:sequence” declarations, which removes the requirement for table elements within the associated XML file to be presented in a particular order.
Users who have already based their solution on release 1.5 can continue to use this, as the SDCS Cloud submission portal is backwards-compatible - XML Schemas compliant with either release 1.5 or 1.5.1 are accepted.
The Community Services Data Set XML Schema does not contain any validation.
The Information Standard was approved by the Data Coordination Board as DCB1069: Community Services Data Set.
