East Renfrewshire, Scottish Borders, Midlothian and Aberdeenshire did not provide information in time for inclusion. 2004-05 figures for these authorities have been incorporated into this table, but do not include young people aged 19-21. Data supplied by Aberdeen City and Edinburgh may be incomplete. Data supplied by North Ayrshire and Eilean Siar include young people who left care in 2005-06 only. All figures in this table should therefore be understood as estimates that are likely to be lower than the true figure, and caution should be used when using the figures. The number of young people no longer in touch differs to that reported in table 1.19 due to misreporting by four local authorities.
