As the Deputy will be aware, my Department was established on 2nd June 2011. The requested totals in respect of the period 2nd June - 31st December 2011 and for the full year of 2012 are set out in the table below. The requested averages have been calculated and are shown for the full year of 2012 but not for the June – December 2011 period, as that is not a full year. However, in order to facilitate comparison between these two periods, the table below includes information on the time lost rates for the periods in question. This shows the time lost due to sick leave expressed as a percentage of total potential working days in each period.
