13 Drug misuse is recorded on the SMR02 returns, using the relevant code from the International Classification of Diseases (10th revision) indicating use of a range of psycho-active substances
14 SMR11 records information about neo-natal discharges of sick babies, where problems may include:
- Foetal and new-born babies affected by maternal use of drugs of addiction
- Neo-natal withdrawal symptoms from maternal use of drugs of addiction
