More than half of all sick days taken in February by staff at the Cheshire NHS body leading the Covid-19 vaccination programme were down to stress, anxiety, or depression.
That’s according to the latest workforce report from NHS Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), which leads the vaccine roll-out in the county.
Health and wellbeing specialists in Nantwich have welcomed a fall in the number of days taken off sick by the country’s workforce.
Office of National Statistics say absence days are at a record low after dropping from an average of 7.2 to 4.3 days a year per worker since records began in 1993.
