Department for Science, Innovation and Technology: Sick Leave
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what the average number of working days lost to sickness absence per full-time equivalent member of staff was in (a) the Department and (b) its executive agencies in the last year; and how many formal performance warnings were issued to staff whose absence exceeded departmental triggers.
Answered by Ian Murray
Sickness absence data for the Civil Service, including departmental breakdowns, are published annually and are available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/sickness-absence
The requested data on formal warnings are not held centrally in a reportable format.
