The Nolan Show can exclusively reveal that mental health related absence - within the PSNI has increased by almost 40%, in 4 years. Our investigation can reveal that in 2016, almost 40,000 days were lost due to mental health sickness like anxiety, depression, drug and alcohol problems and PTSD. This can be compared to just under 29,000 days in 2012. The increase in mental health sickness comes despite there being less officers in the PSNI in 2016 than there were in 2012. Stephen was joined in studio by Deputy Chief Constable Drew Harris.
