Hello.
The code "PG" appears as the reason for updating someone's health insurance records: "origine MAJ Famille: PG". Being such a short abbreviaiton, it's very difficult to research. Does anyone know what it means in this context? Thanks in advance :)

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hello, thanks for your answer. I think you might just have hit the nail on the head with GP. I'll leave the question open until tomorrow, to allow people to confirm, etc., but at this point I'm really glad that you came up with this. In hindsight, it seems so simple, but I've been really bogged down in abbreviations that seem totally opaque. Thanks :))))

Asker: Hi Liz, thanks for your help. It's not Papua New Guinea in this case, as the address is definitely in France (mainland France).
