Data for 2017/18 is not yet available. It is standard for the department to collate and validate data on losses and special payment at two intervals during each financial year (up to the end of Period 9 in December in preparation for the annual accounts and again at Period 12 in March as part of year-end). We are unable to confirm 2017/18 figures until the data has been verified, validated, finalised and signed off by the relevant business area, for inclusion in the department\u2019s 2017/18 annual accounts. Data for this financial year to the end of December 2017 should be available from the beginning of February. We welcome any subsequent request to share data on losses and special payment up to the end of December 2017 as per the estimated timing above. For general information, any losses and special payments in excess of £300,000 will be included in the department\u2019s Consolidated Annual Report and Accounts for 2017/18.

Information about sickness absence in the Cabinet Office is published on the Cabinet Office website at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cabinet-office-absence-data<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

The most recent published figures show that for the year to 30 June 2017, the Cabinet Office has one of the lowest recorded sickness rates across the Civil Service at 2.9 average working days lost when compared to the latest Civil Service average of 7.0 .<\/p>

<\/p>

My Department is committed to reducing work related absence due to mental illness and has a number of services in place to support members of staff suffering from such conditions. Our Workwell community is staffed by volunteers who aim to make Cabinet Office a happy and healthy workplace through a number of interventions including a listening service for staff. We also offer a 24 hour counselling support helpline through our Employee Assistance Programme provider and advocate early referral to our occupational health service where appropriate, for advice on a number of conditions including mental health.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4048", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Caroline Nokes"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Romsey and Southampton North"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Caroline Nokes"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-11-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/760796/answer/previousversion/13900", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4048", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Caroline Nokes"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Romsey and Southampton North"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Caroline Nokes"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-11-29T11:13:14.677Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "53"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-09-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Cabinet Office: Sick Pay"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the cost of sickness pay to staff in his Department was in each of the 10 years prior to June 2016.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4453", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Tommy Sheppard"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Edinburgh East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Tommy Sheppard"} ], "uin" : "105338"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 6, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
