The information requested by the Deputy regarding sick absence statistics for my Department is set out in a table:

YearLost time rate % - (certified sick absence)Lost time rate % - (self-certified sick absence)
20113.61%0.24%
20122.27%0.22%
20131.86%0.24%
20142.39%0.24%
20152.29%0.24%

My Department's lost time rate due to sick absence is consistently below the Civil Service average.

The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform routinely publishes sick absence statistics for the Civil and Public Service. The latest statistics for the Civil Service are available at:.
