Consider phrasing of the definition of SNOMED CT-AU to be more general, and not specific to health record. Eg
"In Australia, SNOMED CT Australian Edition (SNOMED CT-AU) extends SNOMED CT with local variations and customisation relevant to the Australian healthcare community."

Suggest changing link to NCTS as "[National Clinical Terminology Service](https://www.healthterminologies.gov.au) (NCTS)."

While options are listed, no guidance is provided as to why one should be selected over another. Consider inclusion of guidance - eg option two and three enable validation of AU codes.

This PR cannot proceed without an approved spec Jira. Please raise a change request.
Thanks Danielle - Is the guidance to go into the Balloted version or current version? Just need to know for the JIRA ticket. |
I'm not sure what you are asking; new changes cannot go into an already released version? |
