Notes: Young people can be admitted and discharged more than once during the year.
St. Mary's Kenmure was temporarily closed from 30 March 2008 but young people were still reported as being in this centre at the end of the month. Consequently, some young people will be counted in admissions for other centres for 30 to 31 March without having been recorded as discharged by St. Mary's.
For 2007/08, young people using the emergency bed have been included for St. Mary's Kenmure as they were not able to differentiate between emergency and non-emergency beds.
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.
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.
Age is estimated from 2005/06.
