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.
