Issues to be addressed

• Agencies would need a reference Agencies could
  be given Edubase references or a standard set
  which would be prefixed with your LEA number eg
• 8888 Health
• HLTH Health
• What happens when one LEA deals with multiples of
  the same Agency?
• Not a problem if one Agency deals with more than
  one Authority they only need the one reference
  and share this reference with other Authorities
