About this graphic

Primary Roles and Non-Primary Roles are attributes of an ODS code that system suppliers can consume and utilise or validate against.

A Primary Role describes the fundamental nature of an entity and its remit. Non-Primary Roles provide further information about an organisation’s function or remit.

All CCG codes with retain a ‘CCG’ Primary Role. However, a new Non-Primary Role of ‘Sub ICB Location’ will be applied to all CCG codes from 1 July 2022, whilst they are temporarily retained during the transition year.

If system suppliers expose the Primary Role, they may wish to expose the new Non-Primary Role from 1 July 2022 instead, to reflect that it is a Sub ICB Location.
