It was reported earlier this year that the Government is looking into ways of reforming the fit note system to limit the impact of long-term sickness on the economy
Figures show that more than 8,000 sick notes were issued a month in the county.
This means there were 33,251 fit notes given out for every 100,000 patients aged 18 to 65 in the area – a higher rate than England as a whole, which had 27,789 per 100,000 patients. However, there was a four per cent decrease in the number of fit notes issued in the last quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021..
Mr Appleby continued: “There were some notable differences between men and women in the reasons they gave for not being in work between late 2020 and late 2022, with long-term sickness rising more for women than for men.
