Stress

Volume 480: debated on Wednesday 8 October 2008

To ask the Leader of the House what arrangements her Office has in place to assist officials to overcome the effects of stress experienced in the workplace. (222168)

The Office of the Leader of the House of Commons is committed to the well-being of its employees. It has an external employee counselling service, it regularly consults staff on reducing stress at work and it provides easy to use advice on the successful prevention, recognition and management of stress at work.

I am delighted that no staff have taken leave for stress over the last four years.
