On the issue of children being admitted to adult facilities, in 2008 three out of every four children admitted to mental health units went into adult units. Thankfully, the situation has reversed and now about one in every four children are admitted to adult services, while three out of every four are admitted to age appropriate services. Last year, the figure was 84. To date this year, it is 37. We are making significant improvements, but a number of children are still being admitted to adult services.
