Description

https://github.com/The-Strategy-Unit/nhp_model/issues/412 has patched an issue where some fields are extracted with null values.

We should handle missing data in the extract stage, potentially erroring out data extracts that contain any NA's that aren't expected.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked nhp_model issue #412 to understand the null-value extraction bug, then locate the extract stage in nhp_data. Determine which missing values are expected and how extracts currently validate data. Done means unexpected NA values are detected and handled or cause the extract to fail, with the behavior covered by appropriate tests.
