East Renfrewshire, Scottish Borders and Midlothian did not provide information in time for inclusion. 2004-05 figures for these authorities have been incorporated into this table and do not include young people aged 19-21. The numbers of young people aged 18 and under are therefore best understood as estimates and the number of young people aged 19-21 is an undercount.

South Lanarkshire and Edinburgh did not provide this information so the total number of children ceasing to be looked after in those authorities have been entered as 'not known's.

A child may cease to be looked after more than once during the year and will be counted once for each episode of care ending.

* represents figures less than 5 that have been suppressed for confidentiality reasons.
