Answer
We do not hold data on the number of prison officers who have left the prison service due specifically to stress or ill health.
Figures for the number of prison officers who left the prison service through medical retirement or dismissal due to medical inefficiency are however available. Latest figures for these can be found in table 11b of the HMPPS annual workforce statistics bulletin 31 March 2017 at: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/614643/noms-workforce-tables-march-2017.xlsx.
