	Notes
	1.  When a remand starts, it is impossible to know how long it will last, because of repeat remands.
	Therefore,the figures given here show the episode lengths for remands that finished
	in the specified month.
	2.  We have refined the data on remands and therefore figures previously presented have been
	amended to reflect that refinement. However, remand data should be critically examined on an ongoing basis
	in order to ensure any anomalies in the data are quickly picked up.
