(5) The most recent report available from CALMS includes data up until 30 April 2006. The way in which data was collected during the 2004-05 year means that the period 1 July 2005 – 30 April 2006 cannot be compared with the exact same time period for the preceding year. However, based on the monthly average of consultations performed during the first ten-months of 05-06 it can be estimated that around 15,530 consultations will be performed during the full year. This would mean an increase of around 3,400 consultations in the 05-06 year compared with the 04-05 year.
