To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many staff in her Department were on long term sick leave in each of the last five years. [109261]

The numbers of staff whose sick absence was longer than 22 days in each financial year were:

Number
1997–98206
1998–99217
1999–2000210
2000–01228
2001–02248
In my Department sick absence in excess of 22 days in a year is the trigger for considering poor attendance action.
