Notes: Figures include all episodes of ceasing to be looked after ( i.e. a child may be counted more than once).
Notes: Eilean Siar did not provide information. 2005-06 figures for this authority have been incorporated into this table. The numbers of young people are therefore best understood as estimates.
West Lothian did not provide a breakdown for foster carers provided/purchased by the local authority. All children looked after by foster carers have been entered in the former of these categories.
Cells containing * represent numbers that are suppressed to maintain confidentiality.
