Notes: Length of stay is truncated at the 31st March.
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.
For 2008, more detailed information can be published on disability. Due to small numbers, all other disability categories have been included in the 'Other' category. For 2007, small numbers have been suppressed with * to maintain confidentiality. Note that a young person can have multiple disabilities. Comparable data on disability is not available prior to 2007.
Age is estimated from 2005/06.
