Notes: Young people can be admitted and discharged more than once during the year.
St. Mary's Kenmure was temporarily closed on 30 March 2008 and had a sequential re-opening from 4 August 2008 when it's bed complement was as follows:-
4 August to 24 August = 6 beds, 25 August to 14 September = 12 beds, 15 September to 5 October = 18 beds and from 6 October onwards = 24 beds.
Therefore, there were no young people in St. Mary's Kenmure from 30 March 2008 to 3 August 2008.
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.
Age is estimated from 2006 to 2009. Actual age is reported for 2010
There is a problem
