Dear all

Following on from the announcements in late 2024 and early 2025, the plan to deprecate the Concept Non Current Indicators from the International Edition release is as follows:

**International Edition 20260101**

- No more new Concept Non Current Indicators will be added to the International Edition from this release onwards.

- All existing active Concept Non Current Indicators will be Inactivated in this (January 2026) release, but the records will not be removed from the Release Package.

**International Edition 20270101**

- All existing (inactive) Concept Non Current Indicators will then be removed from both Full and Snapshot files in the International release package, from the January 2027 release onwards.

- A new package will be created and added to the “Deprecated” folder in MLDS, containing the final state of all Concept Non Current Indicator records.

We will publish a formal notice of the plan to the Member Forum shortly. In the meantime, if you have any questions at all please raise them via [release@snomed.org](mailto:release@snomed.org).

Kind regards,

Andrew Atkinson | Release Manager
