Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare filed 2 positions between 18 May 2026 and 29 Sept 2026, across 2 of the 655 legislative files tracked here, attaching a full position paper 1 time.

This is particularly important where datasets are discoverable through the catalogue of an authorised participant but are held, maintained or governed by health data holders established in one or more Member States.
