The following figures are as at 29 February 2004. As a note of explanation the member is advised that the Department for Community Development’s client data -base is updated daily and the figures provided were correct at the date the response was prepared. For the purposes of analysing the data, it has been assumed that (c) refers to less than two years, (d) refers to less than three years; and (e) refers to less than four years. The answers are cumulative for all but the response to (f). That is, the number of children in foster care for less than six months is also counted in the figure for those in foster care for less than one year, and so on.
