The graph below shows the average length of stay last year (in days) for serious injuries for different age groups in private and public hospitals in Queensland, Australia.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
As an introduction, the line graph illustrates the mean duration of hospital stay of
patients
with serious injuries, by
age
categories, in both the public and private sectors, in Queensland, Australia, during the
last
year.
Overall
, it can be seen that the length of stay was higher in public health care centres than that of private ones in all
age
groups.
In addition
, more than fifteen-year-old
patients
were admitted to non-government centres,
whereas
the others provided care for all
age
categories.
Firstly
, the average number of
days
in the government sector rose considerably from approximately 5
days
for 0 to 4 years to reach 60
days
in the 25 to 29
group
.
Secondly
, a slight decline of about 20
days
can be observed in the 35 to 39
age
group
.
However
, the figures increased sharply again in the next
age
group
from about 20
days
.
Finally
, these numbers fell gradually with some fluctuations in between, to reach roughly 20
days
total in more than 85-year-old
patients
. In comparison, at private nursing homes, the duration increased substantially from 5
days
in 15 to 19 old
patients
to around 40
days
in 25 to 29 years.
Thereafter
, the numbers remained relatively stable at about 20
days
for the rest of the
patients
with some slight fluctuations and ultimately ended up at the same number as the other centre for the oldest
group
.
