To ask the Scottish Government how many staff hours have been lost in each NHS board due to staff absence, and what the total cost was of those staff absences, in each year since 2007.
Answer
The information requested is not centrally available.

The data can be found on the TURAS NHS Education for Scotland workforce statistics website:
