• Number of new entries/cases per month, by age group (five year bands if possible*), 2015 – 2020 calendar year • Number of cases open at month end, by age group (five year bands), 2015 – 2020 calendar year • Number of people exiting per month, by age group (five year bands if possible*), 2015 – 2020 calendar year

For the DHB:
