The occupancy level of each of the five children's detention schools on 31 January 2006 is as set out in the table. At present, the overall capacity of the children's detention schools, at 114 places, can cater adequately for the number of children committed by the courts. However, my Department is monitoring the position on a continuous basis, in consultation with the special residential services board.
