* Sample size too small.
Note: Some of the figures shown in table 12.17 (b) differ slightly from those in 12.17 (a) due to differing methodology used to extract.
1. For the latest data (2009) data have been reweighted using the latest population estimates (2009). Previous year's data have been weighted using 2007 population estimates data.
