Hospital staff sickness absence (FOI)

Hospital staff sickness absence (FOI)

Produced by the Freedom of Information office
Authored by States of Jersey and published on 01 May 2015.
Prepared internally, no external costs.

​Request

I have received the information from the FOI request (number redacted) I have referred to in the subject line of this email, however I am seeking further information with regards to the same request.

I would like to know the number of staff that correlates with the number of days that staff have taken off sick.

The following information is required:

  •  if the number of doctors is fewer than 5 for the years concerned, and therefore is considered undisclosable by HSSD and, if not, what are the figures for those year(s)
  •  if the number of paramedics is fewer than 5 for the years concerned, and therefore is considered undisclosable by HSSD and, if not, what are the figures for those year(s)
  •  if the number of nurses is fewer than 5 for the years concerned, and therefore is considered undisclosable by HSSD and, if not, what are the figures for those year(s)

Response

The below data has been presented in a way that will not identify employees as this information is personal information and so is exempt under Article 25 of the Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 which refers to personal information.

A.

How many doctors reported being off sick from work due to anxiety, stress or depression in 2014, 2013 and 2012? And all sickness.

We are not able to provide a response to the first part of this question as the number is too small. We are therefore applying Article 25.
