How many clients were assisted through mediation services in each year since 1999, broken down by local mediation service.

Figures are given in the Annual Reports published by Family Mediation Scotland (FMS). In general, these relate to the number of people who contact local services for information or advice of any kind, not of the final numbers who proceed to mediation (though the report for 2001 does distinguish these, as noted below). Not all the figures have been collated in the same way since 1999.

Notes:
*In the report for 2001, the total number of all new contacts was given as 5,133, of which 628 mediation cases were started:
X(1): Figures not provided to FMS.
X(2): Service not operational.
X(3): Service not operational until 2002.
The FMS report for 2004 provides a chart showing the distribution of cases across services but does not give figures of either initial contact or mediation cases.
