The top sick day for Welsh public sector staff in 2015 has been revealed as 8 January, according to new figures.

It appeared eight times – more than any other – in the top-10 lists of sick days for authorities who responded to a BBC Freedom of Information (FOI) request, with more than 4,750 staff absences.

In 2014, 17 December was top.
