FOI 2024 083 - Employee absence for illness

 

Information Requested:

Can I please have data on sick days taken by employees within your organisation for the last 5 years. I'm aware you are unable to provide personal information so please just refer to each person as Person1, Person2 etc. 

  

Please provide the information below in CSV file format in the following order of preference: 

  

[Authority name], 

Calendar Year, 

Anonymised Person data, 

Department, 

Number of days off sick, 

Approx cost of sickness absence, 

Reason (if available) 

  

Please could you provide the information in a CSV file format in this order: 

  

[Authority name], Year, Person XX, Department, Number of Days off sick, Cost, Reason 

  

If any fields are not available or you are not able to provide for whatever reason, please just leave the space between the comma blank. 

 

Information provided for the answer:

Thank you for your recent request. 

 

Please see the below documents for the information you have requested. 

 

Please note that the absence reasons have not been provided in the yearly breakdowns and have been provided over the 5-year period. This is because this information broken down by year would be very likely to make individuals identifiable. So, under section 40 (Personal information) of the Freedom Of Information Act (2000) the information has been changed into a format where it will be unlikely to identify any of our staff. Also (section 40), we are unable to provide the department breakdown as there is a high likelihood of identification of individual staff members.  

 


If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of the decision, you should write to the Corporate Complaints Manager, Public Health Wales NHS Trust, 3, Number 2, Capital Quarter, Tyndall Street, Cardiff, CF10 4BZ.

If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint or review, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints procedure provided by the Trust. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
