<p>Cabinet Office publishes sickness absence data for the Civil Service on an annual
basis on gov.uk. Our preferred measure is Average Working Days Lost (AWDL) per staff
year which accounts for workforce size and composition. The table below provides the
data requested, days lost per department, along with AWDL for context. Data for 2023
are in production for planned publication by end March 2024.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Table:
