HC Deb 19 January 2004 vol 416 c1046W
Mr. Goodman

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many people employed in her Department have claimed statutory sick pay for(a) less than one week, (b) one to three weeks, (c) four to six weeks, (d) seven to 12 weeks, (e) 13 to 20 weeks and (f) 21 to 28 weeks in each year since 1997. [148633]

Ms Hewitt

The work involved for my Department to gather the requested information would exceed the disproportionate cost threshold.

The recent AON Limited report "Analysis of Sickness Absence in the Civil Service, 2002" is a useful source of reference for some sickness absence data.
