Description of the population covered by the data source in the catchment area whose data are not collected (e.g., people who are registered only for private care)

Individuals who do not have a national personal identity number are registered in the registry with an unknown identity number. The youngest population (i.e. individuals <2 years) have a higher percentage of unknown identity. Missing dispensing records are mostly due to incomplete registration and reporting in the pharmacy.
