St. Mary's Kenmure was temporarily closed on 30 March 2008 and had a sequential re-opening from 4 August 2008 when it's bed complement was as follows:-
4 August to 24 August = 6 beds, 25 August to 14 September = 12 beds, 15 September to 5 October = 18 beds and from 6 October onwards = 24 beds.
Therefore, there were no young people in St. Mary's Kenmure from 30 March 2008 to 3 August 2008.
In 2006/07 and 2007/08, information was collected on 'social, emotional & behavioural difficulties' disability category. From 2008/09 onwards figures were collected on 'medically diagnosed social, emotional & behavioural difficulties' and 'other social, emotional & behavioural difficulties'.
For 2009, more detailed information can be published on disability. Due to small numbers, some disability categories have been included in the 'Other' category. These include 'autistic spectrum disorder', 'hearing impairment', 'learning disability' and 'other chronic illness/disability'. Note that a young person can have multiple disabilities. Comparable data on 'any disability' is not available prior to 2007.
For 2007/08, the emergency bed has been included for St. Mary's as they were not able to differentiate between emergency and non-emergency beds.
