Council sick days fall
THE average number of sick days taken by staff at Ryedale District Council has fallen over the past year, according to a new report.
Members of the council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee heard at their meeting on Thursday how there was a "significant decrease" in sick days to 8.89 in 2009/10 - down from 10.68 the previous year.
It is the council's lowest rate since 2005/06.
