This is a matter for the National School of Government. I have asked the principal and chief executive to reply.
Letter form Rod Clark, dated July 2009:
In the Written Ministerial Statement to the House on 9 January 2007 (Official Report Col 5WS), the then Parliamentary Secretary for the Cabinet Office (Pat McFadden MP) announced that the National School of Government was now a Non Ministerial Department. Consequently, the Minister for the Cabinet Office has asked me to reply to your Parliamentary Question about the National School of Government.
Since July 2006 the National School of Government has run one Stress Management Workshop. Members of staff from the following public authorities attended:
The Home Office;
Department for Work and Pensions;
Communities and Local Government;
Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs;
National School of Government;
Office of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman; and
The House of Lords.
Stress Management is part of the overall Organisational Health and Well Being agenda which is recognised as essential to the component of engaging employees to achieve effective performance.
