GP practices in the PHS quarterly register (scotland_gp_practices) — live snapshot, one row per practice_code. Health and social care partnership areas (HSCPs) linked to each territorial board. Scottish dental practices in the PHS dental register (scotland_dental_practices). Predecessor health board codes from reorganisations are rolled into successor boards so totals stay complete without double-counting.
