Footnotes
- From 2023, the data collection changed from aggregated figures at local authority level, to a person level collection. This has been a major change in approach and as such care should be taken with comparisons across this period. Further detail on the change is provided in the publication and supporting methodology.
- Data is not shown for a small number of local authorities for 2022 while further data checks are ongoing. This is denoted by 'x'.
