"Postcode addresses from National Health Service patient registers for Norfolk and Suffolk [counties in England] current on census day 1991 were assigned to census wards, and estimates of populations in wards were produced for the total population and for twelve age-sex groups. These were compared with adjusted counts of usual residents from the 1991 Census." The results indicate that family health service authority registers "are an acceptable alternative to the census for population estimation purposes. This supports recent arguments for wider use of population registers and suggests that they may be particularly valuable as a source of intercensal information."
来自英国国家医疗服务体系（National Health Service）诺福克郡和萨福克郡（英格兰的郡）1991年人口普查日时的患者登记邮编地址被分配到人口普查区，并针对总人口以及十二个年龄性别组得出了各普查区的人口估计数。这些估计数与1991年人口普查中常住人口的调整计数进行了比较。结果表明，家庭健康服务机构登记册“作为人口估计的一种方式，是可以接受的替代人口普查的选择。这支持了近期关于更广泛使用人口登记册的观点，并表明它们作为两次人口普查之间信息的来源可能特别有价值。”
