answer text <p>The tables below set out the information you have requested on sickness absence taken by officials in the Ministry of Justice relating to stress for each year in which figures are currently available. Data prior to 2011 is not available as this information is not held centrally.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p>Total Number of staff Sick with Stress</p></td><td><p>Proportion of staff off with Stress</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-2015</p></td><td><p>2,593</p></td><td><p>3%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-2014</p></td><td><p>2,344</p></td><td><p>3%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-2013</p></td><td><p>2,043</p></td><td><p>3%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-2012</p></td><td><p>2,221</p></td><td><p>3%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Proportion of Sick Days due to Stress</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-2015</p></td><td><p>15%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-2014</p></td><td><p>13%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-2013</p></td><td><p>11%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-2012</p></td><td><p>10%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The information includes staff within Ministry of Justice Headquarters, National Offender Management Service, Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service, Office of the Public Guardian and Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority for all four years. Staff within Legal Aid Agency are included from 2013 and UK Supreme Court is in scope for 2011-2012.</p><p> </p><p>As a department we are actively managing attendance in order to reduce the number of days lost due to sickness. A large proportion of staff absence is within the Prison Service and the challenges they face do not bear a direct comparison with the working conditions of most civil servants. They perform a difficult, physical and sometimes dangerous job.</p>
