Attorney General's Office: Mental Health

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainAttorney GeneralTabled Answered 3 December 2025UIN 94420

The question

To ask the Solicitor General, how many staff in their Department have been on mental health leave for six months or more; and for what reason.

Answered by Ellie Reeves

Cabinet Office publishes sickness absence data for the Civil Service on an annual basis, including by organisation and by absence reason. I refer you to the statistics publicly available which can be found here https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/sickness-absence. The next release is likely to be around 18 December 2025.
