The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many staff working days have been lost to sick leave in the Child Maintenance Service in each of the last 10 years.

Answered by Andrew Western

The information is not available for the whole period requested. The data is only available from October 2023. This is due to changes in departmental reporting hierarchies.
