"""NHS (United Kingdom National Health Service patient identifier).

The NHS number is used by the NHS (National Health Service) and its partners
to uniquely identify patients. The number is used in England, Wales and the
Isle of Man. The number is assigned at birth and consists of 10 digits where
the final digit is a check digit.
