53 code families
53 codes (with the codes below them) are printed in some books, absent from a book in between and printed again later. Examples: 2235-02-001-AD-376-01 'District Establishment – Social Welfare' (absent from 2025-26 BE); 2235-02-001-AH-349 'Directorate of Children Welfare and Special Services' (absent from 2025-26 BE); 2235-02-106-AD-376-01 'Government Child Care Institutions' (absent from 2025-26 BE). The full list is in the master_codes file (columns books_present and books_list).
Checked against the PDFs: for 100 of 100 family/book absences a text search of the book finds no line with that code. A line with nothing to show in a book seems to be left out of that book; this has not been confirmed with the department.
