A government minister says sexual harassment is unacceptable and needs stamping out.

In the House of Keys earlier this week, Health and Social Care Minister Kate Beecroft was quizzed by Garff MHK Martyn Perkins about the treatment of sexual harassment and assault victims.

She said the DHSC doesn't have specific services but those who have emotional or psychological symptoms can get support via mental health facilities.

Mrs Beecroft added people reporting the assault to police can have specialist medical examinations.
