Departments: Home Working

David Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people in her Department have been allowed to work from home for part of the week in the last 12 months; and if she will make a statement on her Department’s policy on home working. [143882]

Mr. Ivan Lewis: The Departments human resource information system currently records four staff as members of its home-working scheme. The Department also allows staff to work at home on an occasional basis at management discretion. No data are kept on these ad hoc arrangements that enable staff to enjoy a more flexible, family-friendly working arrangement.

Our policy is in line with approaches commonly adopted across the civil service and reflects good practice followed by organisations more widely.

Departments: Manpower

David Simpson: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many people granted (a) temporary part-time, (b) temporary full-time, (c) permanent part-time and (d) permanent full-time contracts of employment in her Department in each of the last three years were (i) male, (ii) female, (iii) registered disabled and (iv) aged 55 years or over. [143897]

Mr. Ivan Lewis: The information requested is shown in the following tables.
