Key Findings: Between July and the average sickness absence rate for the NHS in England was 4.34%. The North East SHA area had the highest average sickness absence rate with its organisations averaging 5.01%. The London SHA area had the lowest average at 3.70%. Healthcare assistants and other support staff were the staff group with the highest average sickness absence rate with an average of 6.56%. The medical and dental staff group had the lowest average at 1.17%. Amongst types of organisation, ambulance trusts had the highest average sickness absence rate with an average of 5.86%. Strategic health authorities had the lowest average with a rate of 2.37%.
Introduction This statistical bulletin relates to sickness absence rates for staff at NHS organisations on the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). ESR is a payroll and human resources system which, since April 2008, contains staff records for all NHS employed staff with the exception of GPs and those employed at the two foundation trusts which are not yet on the system. It replaced over 30 separate HR and payroll systems which were previously in use. The statistics presented in this Bulletin relate to staff sickness absence during the 3 month period of July to. This is the second publication using sickness absence data from the ESR. These figures are presented as an experimental series and are not directly comparable with previous figures from the Department of Health (DH) or ONS. Feedback on any aspect of this initial bulletin is welcome please see the Experimental Statistics section on the contents page for more information. The IC will continue to publish these figures on a quarterly basis. This is important data, as it is useful for NHS organisations as a tool for understanding NHS staff health and well-being in light of the Boorman Review, and identifying appropriate benchmarks for sickness absence within their own organisations and staff groups. NHS organisations are able to access more detailed reports about sickness absence within their own organisations, and as recommended in the Department of Health's response to the Boorman Review should make full use of the ESR's sickness absence reporting and monitoring functions to understand the health and well-being of their workforce. DH will use this data - alongside NHS staff survey data - over the coming years to evaluate changes in staff sickness absence and staff health and well-being. The NHS Workforce is extremely diverse in terms of occupations and skills, compared with many other public sector employers. For instance, NHS work is often physically and psychologically demanding, which increases the risk of illness and injury. The NHS is also one of few organisations that operate 24 hour services, for 365 days a year. Prior to this publication series The IC (and the Department of Health previously) published sickness absence statistics on a yearly basis with the last publication in 2006 using 2005 data. Comparisons between the rates in these surveys and the latest rates are not directly comparable due to the differences in these surveys methodologies which should be noted see the Methodology section for more details. Methodology A monthly extract is downloaded from ESR detailing the number of days usually worked by a member of staff and the number of days of sickness absence over said month for all NHS staff based in England. Sickness absence rates are then calculated for the whole English NHS and for each SHA, staff group, organisation type and individual organisation by dividing the total number of sickness absence days by the total number of available days for each group. 5
While lower sickness absence rates, in general, indicate lower levels of sickness absence it should be noted that lower rates can also indicate under reporting of sickness absence. It should also be noted that these figures relate to just three months of the year, and sickness absence is subject to marked seasonal variation. Comparison with previous surveys Prior to this publication series, The IC last released sickness absence statistics in 2006 using 2005 data. In that survey and the ones in previous years organisations were asked to report a single rate for their entire organisation which they calculated themselves for either the entire year, or for whichever months they were able to collect data for. Sickness absence rates from this survey and historical surveys can not be meaningfully compared as this will not produce like for like estimates for the following reasons: - This survey contains rates based solely on the number of days lost to sickness absence. In previous surveys organisations were instructed to calculate their own rates based on either hours or days lost; - This survey is based on a snapshot of 3 set months of data, and sickness absence is subject to marked seasonal variation. Historical surveys were based on data from between 1 and 12 months of the year, from any part of the year, with the months used, varying between organisation.
