§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many and what proportion of the staff of his Department are(a) job sharing, (b) term working and (c) engaged in another form of flexible working. [42422]
§ Ms BlearsEmployees working on job-share contracts or term-working are recorded as "part-time" workers. It is therefore not possible to identify the number of staff employed specifically on a job-share/term working contract. The Department currently has 496 staff (9.5 per cent.) working part time.
As other forms of flexible working are arranged locally between staff and their managers, we do not centrally record this information.
