Note: Cells with less than 5 have been surpressed to maintain confidentiality. These are indicated with a '*'. Secondary surpression has also been used in the table so disclosive cells can not be calculated.
Note: Clients recorded as having 'physical and learning disabilities' have been recoded under 'learning disabilities' for the purpose of this table (the numbers of clients are too small to have a separate category by local authority)
