  "description": "Resource structure is derived from Data Standards Wales – Observation - Vital Signs. It has drawn on UK Core – Observation – Body Weight v1.0.0 (not yet included in a balloted release) for guidance on specific content and constraints for use when the observation is a Weight measurement.",
  "purpose": "To provide implementers with additional support when implementing weight measuring and to provide a consistent structure to how the data is presented.",
