• Data should be included in WICID from the following four sources:

• 2001 Census: the large and more complex matrices of migration and commuting flows commissioned from ONS that have national coverage at district and sub-district spatial scales

• NHSCR: annual flows, from 1975 to 1998, of NHSCR patient re-registration movements between 100 FHSA-based zones, disaggregated by age and sex; and annual flows, from 1998/99 onwards, of NHS patients movements between HAs, disaggregated by age and sex

Notes:

Generally, with the census there are already online query and extraction systems in place, so CIDER does not wish to replicate these existing census services. In the case of some of the large commissioned tables – extensive data and spatial coverage means that it will be useful to add these datasets to wicid.

CIDER already holds NHSCR data for 1975-1998 for set of 100 zones based on FHSA geography. As a relatively reliable source of year-on-year migration data, it would be very useful to include this data in WICID. ONS have expressed their willingness to release post 1998 data for CIDER to use, however due to new HA geography, work will need to be done to create a continuous time series from 1975.

Student migrations to HE institutions are important both in terms of their magnitude and impact
