Simon Case is expected to be absent from work for 'a few weeks'.
Civil service chief Simon Case has stepped back from his role due to a “private medical matter”. Mr Case, whose time in the job has seen him involved in a series of controversies, is expected to be absent for “a few weeks”.
A Cabinet Office spokesman said: “The Cabinet Secretary is taking a short period of leave because of a private medical matter and is due to return to work in a few weeks.” The Cabinet Secretary was embroiled in the partygate row and had to step back from the investigation into lockdown-breaking parties, which ultimately fell to Sue Gray to lead, because of his own involvement.
