Notes: Eilean Siar and North Lanarkshire did not provide this information. 2005-06 figures for these authorities have been incorporated into this table. In addition, Scottish Borders included only those young people receiving aftercare, rather than all young people that were eligible. The numbers of young people are therefore best understood as estimates.
The "no longer in touch" category does not completely match that in Tables 1.24 because of inconsistencies in reporting.
West Lothian did not include figures for 19-21 year olds in time for inclusion. The numbers missing have been calculated from Table 1.26 and included in the "not known" column.
Cells containing * represent numbers that are suppressed to maintain confidentiality.
