Written answers

The Civil Service Dignity at Work Policy applies to the staff of the Department of Health.  In line with the policy, every member of staff has been made aware that all forms of bullying and sexual harassment are unacceptable and that every member of staff has a duty to behave in an acceptable and respectful manner.

There has only been one complaint in my Department in relation to bullying and sexual harassment during the years 2016 to 2018 and to date in 2019.  The finding of the subsequent external investigation was that the complaint was not upheld.
