Reports say health department officials 'raised concern' about the health secretary's conduct.
The Guardian quoted one source describing Mr Barclay as "constantly angry", while a separate source said: "He hauls people over the coals and is generally a bit unpleasant."
Another government official said many colleagues "speak highly" of Mr Barclay and are unhappy about the briefings.Last week, Dominic Raab - a senior minister and close ally of the prime minister - resigned after a bullying inquiry found he had acted in an "aggressive" way towards civil servants. He told the BBC the inquiry's findings set "a very dangerous precedent" adding: "If the bar, the threshold for bullying is lowered that low, it's almost impossible for ministers to deliver for the British people and I think it'll have a chilling effect on effective government."
