Please note, the current situation is inevitably very fluid and therefore figures will constantly change, however the below figures indicate our latest absenteeism levels.

Figures as of Friday 11th February 2022
Total Covid related absence 962
Total non-Covid absence 1,094
Total number of PAYE staff 21,616
