With the discontinuance of National Registration in February 1952, the Central National Registration Office (CNRO) became the National Health Service Central Register (NHSCR). Its main purpose is to help Family Practitioner Committees (formerly Executive Councils) of the NHS to carry out their registration work effectively. By maintaining a central register of all NHS patients in England and Wales, by controlling the issue of new NHS numbers, and by disseminating the information relating to patients who have died, left the country, joined the armed forces, etc, the NHSCR operates to minimise the inflation of doctors' lists. The NHSCR, has been run on an agency basis for the benefit of the NHS since 1951.
