The health secretary has become the latest member of the prime minister's cabinet to face bullying allegations, with officials from his department reportedly having spoken privately of 'bad behaviour'.
And on Thursday, the prime minister's official spokesman said Mr Sunak had not been made aware of any complaints about the health secretary's behaviour.
He said there are"established processes" for civil servants if they wish to bring to light any issue, and informal complaints"go to the department and are dealt with there". "The health secretary is delivering for the public and working hard to cut the waiting lists so people can get the care they need more quickly," he added.
