Notes: Please interpret changes with caution as they may be partly due to improved data collection methods rather than change in client numbers.
A breakdown with all clients in the 'not known' category proportioned into age and gender categories is available in table 5.
Dumfries & Galloway, Edinburgh, Moray, Renfrewshire and Stirling have been unable to provide net totals and therefore some element of double counting may be present. Net totals for these LAs have been estimated.
