1. Table excludes children who are on a planned series of short term placements.
2. Breakdowns for Inverclyde and South Lanarkshire (and therefore Scotland) have been estimated due to the age group not being provided for some children in these areas. Some of the totals in this table may not therefore exactly equal the sum of their component parts due to the effects of rounding
3. Population figures used are as at 30 June 1999.
