The number of working days lost each year for the past 10 due to 'stress, anxiety and depression'. Please also include in your report the amount of working days which were available for each year. (Perhaps you have the information already worked out as a percentage also?)
The information provided (excluding school staff) below is for the last three financial years based on information available from a new database. Information prior to 2006 is not available. We do not hold data as a percentage of working days available.

Please separately state dismissals in this as well where ill health was brought up as a factor.
We do not have a method of collecting this data other than to go through the file of each individual case. There would be a cost in collating this information.
