Notes:

: Indicates no data available

Percentages are of clients whose age is known (n)

(1) Last data available refer to 2008. Data presented are from two different monitoring systems (Pilot project for TDI monitoring and Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology - aggregated data). Caution must be made when interpreting the data as double counting could not be avoid.

(2) Data on first treatments (breakdown by age) were not reported for 2009 as the figures were too small.

(3) Data do not cover new clients in treatment units in prisons
