<p>The number of sick leave days taken by staff due to mental health reasons at the
Office of the Secretary of State for Wales for which data is available, is set out
below:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial year </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number
of days lost</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2011/12</strong></p></td><td><p>248</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2012/13</strong></p></td><td><p>211</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2013/14</strong></p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2014/15</strong></p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2015/16</strong></p></td><td><p>56</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2016/17</strong></p></td><td><p>76</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2017/18</strong></p></td><td><p>9</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Office of the Secretary of State for Wales is
not an employer in its own right; our staff are employed under Ministry of Justice
contracts. We therefore comply with the Ministry of Justice’s attendance management
policy to ensure that staff’s wellbeing is maintained and to provide the necessary
support so that staff who are absent due to sickness (including mental health related
reasons) are enabled to return to work at the earliest possible opportunity.</p><p><strong>
