| Title: | Tools for Working with NHS Number Checksums |
|---|---|
| Description: | Provides functions for working with NHS number checksums. The UK's National Health Service issues NHS numbers to all users of its services and this package implements functions for verifying that the numbers are valid according to the checksum scheme the NHS use. Numbers can be validated and checksums created. |

NHS numbers are 10 digit numbers where the 10th digit is a checksum. This function takes the 9 core digits of the NHS number and calculates the checksums.
