Department for Culture, Media and Sport: Disability
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many staff in her Department are recorded as having a (a) mental health condition and (b) physical disability by grade.
Answered by Ian Murray
DCMS asks all employees to declare whether they have a disability, but does not differentiate between mental health and physical disabilities.
Information on the number of people declaring a disability by each government department is published annually as part of Civil Service Statistics 2025, an accredited official statistics publication. Latest published data are as at 31 March 2025 and can be found at Table 29 of the statistical tables at the following web address:

Information for 31 March 2026 is due for publication in July 2026.
