The dataset ships three CSVs that share keys:

admissions.csv admission_id, patient_name/first_name/surname, site_name, ward, ...
notes.csv clinical_note_id, clean_note_text, person_id, admission_id, ...
Because the PII lives in the *structured* tables, we get ground-truth labels for

known PII strings that *should* be removed. That join is what makes a real,
measurable leakage rate possible — the thing Presidio alone never gives you.
