The information requested by the Deputy regarding sick absence statistics for my Department is set out in a table:
Year | Lost time rate % - (certified sick absence) | Lost time rate % - (self-certified sick absence) |
---|---|---|
2011 | 3.61% | 0.24% |
2012 | 2.27% | 0.22% |
2013 | 1.86% | 0.24% |
2014 | 2.39% | 0.24% |
2015 | 2.29% | 0.24% |
My Department's lost time rate due to sick absence is consistently below the Civil Service average.
