Is it time to cut staff in the Civil Service
What waste 100s of Millions pounds of Tax payers Money
This report presents headline information on sickness absence in the UK Civil Service workforce, including by organisation, grade, region, sex, age and absence reason, for the year ending 31 March 2023.
Key Highlights:
Overall Average Working Days Lost (AWDL) per staff year in the Civil Service was 8.1 days in the year ending 31 March 2023, up from 7.9 days in the year ending 31 March 2022.
Of these average working days lost (AWDL) per staff year:
4.4 days per staff year were lost to long term sickness, and 3.7 days to short term sickness. Both increased on the previous year from 4.3 and 3.6 respectively.
Mental Ill-Health was the largest cause of long term sickness absence (45%), followed by Musculoskeletal System Disorders (13%).
Respiratory System illnesses were the largest cause of short term absence (22%) followed by COVID-19 (21%).
Statistical Note
Major trends in overall Civil Service absence levels are often due to changes in the five largest departments (DWP, MoJ, HMRC, MoD, HO). These departments account for 68% of working days in the Civil Service and 74% of sickness absence taken.

Civil servants took more sick days in 2022-23 than in any other year in the past decade, according to statistics released by the Cabinet Office.
The figures reveal that the average number of working days lost per full time-equivalent staff member over the 12-month period was 8.1, up from 7.9 the previous year and 6.1 in 2020-21. The first year of the coalition government was the most recent period when average sickness rates were higher.

Nah. We need more civil servants and they need much higher pay.
Fortunately, under a Labour government, that's exactly what we're going to get.
It's the one thing that I'm looking forward to.
Kerching!👍

The Civil Service (like all Public Sector employees) throw more sickies than workers in the private sector - this has always been the case and is not news.

I occasionally peruse the Civil Service jobs page and, in my view, there are a great many non-jobs, attracting bigger salaries than I'm currently on, that appear to add nothing of value to the work of the CS.
