§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the extent of job sharing in his Department. [90860]
§ Mr. LammyThe percentage of staff who work part-time within the Department is 9 per cent. Of those part-time workers, 10 posts are known to be job shares. However, that number could be a great deal higher, as employees working on job share contracts are recorded as 'part-time' workers.
393WIt is therefore not possible to correctly identify the number of staff employed on a job share contract, as these figures do not differentiate between those actually employed part-time and those employed specifically on a job share contract.
