identifier

In England and Wales this SHOULD include the patient's NHS number, where this is not possible then a Medical Records Number (MRN) MAY be used.

If the identifier is an NHS number then the extension Patient.identifier:nhsNumber.extension:nhsNumberVerificationStatus SHOULD be populated to indicate the verification status with a code from the ValueSet UKCore-NHSNumberVerificationStatus.
