Note:
The Cabinet Office published a report on sickness absence in the civil service on 7 February 2008. The report included an analysis of the days lost due to sickness absence for each Department by reasons for absence. The table sets out the figures for 2006-07 for the constituent parts of this Department, which were in place prior to the creation of the Ministry of Justice in May 2007. Information on the reasons for sickness absence prior to 2006-07 is not readily available and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

The tables include data on days lost that were classified as mental and behavioural disorders, a high proportion of which will be stress related.
