Sickness absence data

See how sickness absence is changing across local areas.

We use official public-health figures and calculate the change between the latest two comparable periods.

Latest computed changes

Local sickness absence measures.

The source periods vary by indicator. Each comparison uses the same area and population group in both periods.

No sickness absence comparisons are available yet. The scheduled import will add them after it has processed the first relevant source data.

Source and method

The current measures come from the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities Fingertips API. Work Health Lab stores each source snapshot and calculates the latest change from two comparable periods.
