Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when her Department plans to publish in full the survey entitled, Sickness absence and health in the workplace: understanding employer behaviour and practice employers relating to workplace health following the publication of the interim report of that title in June 2019.

In 2019, the Government consulted on ways to support and encourage employers to minimise the risk of ill-health related job loss among their employees in Health is Everyone's Business: proposals to reduce ill-health related job loss. The Government is considering the timing of the response in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; we anticipate that a response will be available shortly. The response draws on evidence in the ‘Sickness absence and health in the workplace’ report; it is therefore our intention for the report to be published alongside the consultation response.
