The Deduction Reasons currently in use for Registration Links practices in England & Wales are:

  • Death - Registration Links practices can make a Deduction Request Transaction, otherwise wait for an incoming Deduction transaction
  • Removal to new TP/HB/CSA - the patient has left the practice area. Registration Links practices can make a Deduction Request Transaction, otherwise wait for an incoming Deduction transaction.
  • Internal Transfer - For Internal Transfers for reasons other than address change (typically, at the patient's request, the patient changing GP, because they are dissatisfied with their current GP). See Change of GP within the practice.
  • Mental Hospital (not used in Scotland)
  • Embarkation (not used in Scotland) - the patient has left the country (for more than three months). Registration Links practices can make a Deduction Request Transaction, otherwise wait for an incoming Deduction transaction
  • New TP / Same GP (not used in Scotland) - the patient has changed address which is now under a new TP, but is still with the same practice and GP
  • Adopted Child (not used in Scotland)
  • Services (not used in Scotland)
  • Deduction at GP's Request - A GP has requested that the patient is removed from the practice list
  • Registration Cancelled
  • Service Dependent
  • Deduction at Patient's Request
  • Other Reason
  • Returned Undelivered - specifically for patients deducted as a result of FP69 status, often as a result of an unanswered letter from the HA to the patient (see How FP69 works electronically)
  • Internal Transfer - Address Change - Patient has changed address within the HA area. Introduced to differentiate specifically between an Internal Transfer within the TP (the patient having changed address but staying with the practice), and an Internal Transfer within the TP for some other reason (see Change of GP within the practice - Internal Transfer)
  • Internal Transfer within Partnership - Deduction corresponding to an Acceptance received from the Practice representing an Internal Transfer within the Partnership.
  • Correspondence states 'gone away' - FP69 status has been confirmed (see Registration - FP69). The following codes may also arise out of FP69s:
  • Practice advise outside of their area
  • Practice advise patient no longer resident
  • Practice advise removal via screening system
  • Practice advise removal via vaccination data
  • Removal from Residential Institute
