Details of the sick leave recorded as taken by staff of my Department in 2009, 2010 and 2011 are set out in the following table.
| Year | Total number of sick days | Number of which were certified by a Doctor | Number of which were uncertified | Average no. of sick days per employee |
| 2009 | 10,160.3 | 9042.3 | 1118 | 8.1 |
| 2010 | 9,533.1 | 8512.6 | 1020.5 | 7.8 |
| 2011 | 8,832 | 7,984 | 848 | 7.6 |
It would be extremely time-consuming to compile such information on a section by section basis.
