Guide for use:

The Health service non-utilisation cluster comprises three data elements that provide information on a prison entrant's health seeking behaviours in the community and prison. This is achieved by the combination of the three data elements: Prison entrant—service provider needed but not utilised indicator, yes/no code N; Prison entrant—type of service provider needed but not utilised, occupation code (ANZSCO 1st edition) N[NNN]{NN} and Health service event—prisoner location when service provider was needed, but not utilised, prisoner location code N.

The Health service non-utilisation cluster describes the following information:
