+== Primary Care Medication Coding
+
+After speaking to Stephanie Webb, I have gleaned the following information about primary care medication data:
+
+- It is extracted from System One and EMIS into the GEM data warehouse
+- System One data is ''probably'' in Read Code format.
+- EMIS is ''probably'' not, but don't know what format it is in.

+
+After speaking to Stephanie Webb, I have gleaned the following information about patient post codes data.
+
+- Post code data is not historic, only current post code data is recorded.
+- GEM do not get post code data from the primary care IT systems, but get the information from the Exeter database.
+- It may be possible to get the data from System One and EMIS, but this would involve an additional charge.
