I appreciate the current financial year is still ongoing. a. 2022/23 b. 2021/22 c. 2020/21 d. 2019/20 e. 2018/19 1. How many days have trust staff taken off sick leave not holiday.? 2. How many days have trust staff taken off for stress or anxiety? 3. Please provide a staff breakdown for the figure for question two – ie, how many days were taken off by doctors, nurses, porters, cleaners, admin staff etc. 4. How many days have trust employees taken off due to a. covid and b. Covid contact-related self-isolation? 5. How many trust staff have taken more than a month off in one given year due to stress or anxiety. 6. What was the longest period a single member of staff has taken due to stress or anxiety? Please provide their job type or role if possible and an answer for each year.

FOI Response

Please note;
• Covid wasn’t recorded in our Electronic Staffing Record ESR. system initially. We did however set up a Covid portal so that we could track employees that were isolating due to Covid. I’ve therefore done a comparison against the covid app figures but they are in actual days rather than FTE days as FTE days aren’t recorded in the app. Covid app figures are down for current year as Covid absence is now recorded in ESR. • It would not be appropriate to provide the level of details requested in question 6 due to the possibility or being able to identify that employee I have therefore only provided the length of time taken.
