<p>The Office of the Secretary of State for Wales is not an employer in its own right.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) provides employment services on our behalf, including
collection of absence data.</p><p> </p><p>The physical and mental wellbeing of our
staff is crucially important to the department and staff have access to all MoJ employee
services that help to sustain physical and mental wellbeing, including Occupational
Health and a 24-hour employee assistance helpline.</p><p> </p><p>The information below
outlines the number of days lost due to staff absences as a result of (a) physical
ill health, (b) mental ill health, (c) stress and (d) anxiety disorders. MoJ categorise
stress and anxiety disorders as mental ill health. We have therefore extracted the
relevant data from (b) and recorded these in (c) and (d) below. Please note that this
data is collected by calendar year and therefore data is not yet available for 2018.</p><p>
