Scotland Office written question – answered at on 21 November 2016.
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, how many working days were lost due to mental illness in his Department in each of the last three years.
The Scotland Office does not employ staff directly; all staff that join, do so on an assignment, loan or secondment from other government bodies, mainly the Scottish Government and the Ministry of Justice, who remain the employers. These Departments have their own absence management policies and recording processes that apply to those of their staff working in the office. Detailed reasons for absence attributable to mental illness and other sick absence is not retained by the Scotland Office.
