Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the amount of unpaid overtime worked by staff in his Department in the last 24 months.
We do not hold this information. The Department is committed to ensuring the wellbeing of their staff and their work/life balance, with line managers having responsibility for ensuring staff do not work excessive hours in line with the Working Time Regulations 1998 in respect of civil servants' working hours.
