On what evidence is the 15% rate based? 2. What was the actual rate last year? MINISTER BURCH: The answer to the Member's question is as follows:- 1. The 15% rate is determined by a trend analysis of re-substantiation data and the corresponding forward projections. For several years the re-substantiation has been around 15%. It has been projected to remain the same for 2013-14 and 2014-15. 2. For 2011-12, the re-substantiation rate was 12% while the target was 15%. The rate can fluctuate due to the low number of children and young people that are subject to substantiation and re-substantiation reports.
