You might need BoundaryLine as well, depending what you mean by

So, CodePoint alone maps ONS ward codes to postcode. Combined with SNAC http://www.ons.gov.uk/about-statistics/geography/products/geog-products-area/snac/ or the various lookup files: http://www.ons.gov.uk/about-statistics/geography/products/geog-products-area/lookups/
that might be enough.

http://specification.sifinfo.org/Implementation/UK/1.0/ExternalCodeSets.html has a nice list of all ward names etc. (part of the Schools Interoperability Framework).

The NHSPD mentioned in this thread is a variant of the NSPD, which is here: http://www.ons.gov.uk/about-statistics/geography/products/geog-products-postcode/nspd/

Looks like the NHSPD only has 100m accuracy, the NSPD has 1m or 100m accuracy; they have slightly different fields.
