Supplementary notes

The original question posed on the survey was: "To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statement? – In my country, information about healthcare services is readily available when I need it."

Missing percentage points to 100 percent or percentage points exceeding 100 percent are due to rounding. Ambivalent responses were not considered.

The wording chosen for this statistic may slightly differ from the original.
