To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of (a) stress and (b) burnout on the rate of absence due to sickness.
Mims Davies
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
We have not made an assessment of the potential impact of a) stress and b) burnout on the rate of absence due to sickness.
The ONS publish annual statistics on sickness absence in the UK labour market, which includes the reasons for sickness absence. However, neither stress or burnout are listed as reasons given for sickness absences in this data.
The latest statistics for sickness absence in the UK labour market can be found here.
