<p>Almost one in 10 police officers in England and Wales is on sick leave or performing limited duties, according to new figures.</p>
<p>Almost 9,500 are on restricted duties due to ill-health, The Times reports.</p>
<p>A further 2,000 are on long-term sick leave and have been off work for at least one month.</p>
<p>The figures emerged in data obtained by The Times after it submitted Freedom of Information requests on each of the 43 police forces in England and Wales.</p>
<p>A Home Office spokesman said the responsibility for decisions about whether an officer retires on ill-health grounds or placed on restricted duties was a matter for the Chief Constable of the force concerned.</p>
<p>The spokesman said: &#8220;Restricted duties allows officers who are unable to undertake the full range of police duties to remain a police officer with restricted responsibilities rather than to be retired on grounds of ill-health.</p>
<p>&#8220;Recuperative duties are a temporary arrangement while officers recover from sick leave.&#8221;</p>
<p>There are 1,902 officers on long-term sick leave in England and Wales, according to the figures.</p>
<p>These officers receive their full salary for the first six months and then half pay for the next six months, the newspaper found.</p>
<p>The Police Federation said that many of the 6,086 officers with long-term health problems on &#8220;restricted duties&#8221; should be allowed to retire.</p>
