We have implemented Government direction on increased office attendance and, as a broad average, 40% of time is spent working remotely for office based workers, for some this will be more and for others less. This is dependent upon the activity and business outcomes to be delivered. All employees agree their working location with their local line management, although this can sometimes be influenced by site capacity constraints.</p><p> </p><p>Details of Departmental headquarters’ occupancy are published on a regular basis and can be found at the following link: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fcivil-service-headquarters-occupancy-data&amp;data=05%7C02%7CPaul.Carlier927%40mod.gov.uk%7C084308d82f9843c7b91f08dc437d993c%7Cbe7760ed5953484bae95d0a16dfa09e5%7C0%7C0%7C638459453917686707%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=LJi6QK0rs2cFKEKhWpfFPqVYimp8nfn%2BZ9ZnOXRuBbM%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-service-headquarters-occupancy-data</a></p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 19/03/2024 11:55:28 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

The only exception is if disclosure of medical records created before 1 November 1991 is needed to make intelligible any record created after that date.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 08/02/2024 11:11:41 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
