Notes: All applications actioned during period, including lost contact/withdrawal/resolved prior to assessment or discharge of duty. Figures do not include data from Angus due to technical problems. Figures should be treated with caution at present as some local authorities may not be recording the full range of actions undertaken in respect of discharging their duties under the current legislation (for instance, the use of interim accommodation).
