Ms Kate Duggan:
There are 5,613 children in care. Just over 5,000 of those are in foster care, which is 90%, and 408 are in residential care, which would normally be our mainstream residential care, but it might also be special care or a disability placement. We then have 61 young people in a special emergency arrangement.
