Review of the Quarterly and Annual Sickness Absence in the NICS Reports

As part of the wider effort to operate within the current financial constraints, the Workforce Statistics & Analysis (WSA, formerly NISRA Human Resource Consultancy Services) team, reviewed the quarterly and annual Sickness in the NICS reports.

While we recognise the value that users place on the written quarterly report and the commentary provided, we have decided to suspend publication of the written report until further notice. We will continue to publish the data tables on a quarterly basis as normal.

We have also decided to continue with the annual report in the same format as in previous years.  To minimise duplication of outputs, we will suspend a number of Appendices from the report and continue to publish the same information in the online data tables as normal.
