Notes: Table includes admissions made after 31/03/2007 and before 01/04/2008.
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.
Young people are counted once for each time they are admitted to secure accommodation.
'Other' placement prior to admission may include supported accommodation, independent living, hospital or assessment centre.
