Notes: Percentage of young people whose placement on discharge was as agreed in aftercare plan were calculated as a percentage of those with an aftercare plan.
Young people can be discharged more than once during the year.
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.
St. Mary's Kenmure was temporarily closed from 30 March 2008 but young people were still reported as being in this centre at the end of the month. Consequently, some young people will be counted in admissions for other centres for 30 to 31 March without having been recorded as discharged by St. Mary's.
