Notes: Table excludes children who are on a planned series of short term placements.
Argyll & Bute, East Renfrewshire and Highland provided revised figures for 2005-06.
Where a local authority did not provide data in 2005-06, 2004-05 data has been used instead.
Eilean Siar did not provide information for 2007. 2005-06 figures for this authority have been incorporated into this table, and so no comparison is possible.
Cells containing '-' represent a percentage where the denominator would be zero.
