asked the Minister for Health the average cost of residential care for children aged five years and two years in respect of residential homes; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The average cost of maintaining a child in residential care in 1986 was approximately £8,700. It is not possible to identify separate costs for children of particular ages as most residential homes cater for a wide range of ages.
