The question

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

Answered by Lucy Rigby

We currently have fewer than 5 staff on leave for six months or more for mental health related sickness absence. We do not reveal the medical details for individual ill health.
