Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 11 January 2021 to Question 132962 on Epilepsy, how many of the 47 staff members that have declared having epilepsy are paid staff members; and how many of those with a declared disability are on (a) full-time and (b) part-time contracts.

Declaring a health condition is voluntary, therefore the figures provided are specifically from staff members who have declared a disability or long-term health condition.

Of the 47 department staff members declaring epilepsy 46 are paid staff members.

Of all colleagues declaring a disability or long-term health condition, 7,045 are full time, 5,778 are part-time.
