Request

How many states of jersey employees have been signed off sick for:

1. Anxiety

2. Stress

Please show number per year for the last five years.

Can you please also share the figures for staff in each emergency service, the hospital and staff at the prison.

Response

Please see table below. Please note we have been unable to separate stress and anxiety and this shows all sickness recorded as stress / anxiety within the system. As the numbers are small, Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied in order to protect the privacy of individuals.
