I need to demonstrate the cost to the NHS (nationally) in relation to staff sickness/absence through injuries caused at work.

Do you have such information? Can the figures be specific? For example type of illness/injury? I am researching musculoskeletal injuries in particular. The sort of time frame I am looking at is over the last 5-10 years. I am also looking at this from the patient angle, for example cost to the NHS from patient injury.
