Article 25 (Personal information) of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 is engaged. Where numbers are fewer than five (<5), disclosure control is applied to avoid identification of any individuals. In a number of very limited cases, and in order to prevent the calculation of precise numbers under 5, it has also been necessary to simply refer to numbers as greater than 5 (>5).
