Note: Young people can be admitted and discharged more than once within a year
The increase in the proportion of 16 year olds and decrease in the proportion of 13 year olds admitted in 2006-07 may be due in part to a slight change in methodology. For details, see background note.
In 2001 the total number of discharges is one more than the sum of its parts due to one case where length of stay has not been recorded.
