Government questioned on food banks opening for NHS staff

During health and social care questions, shadow minister Dr Roseta Allin-Khan questioned the government on why “food banks are being opened up in hospitals”.

Allin-Khan, who worked an A&E shift two days ago, told the House of Commons, “these lifesavers need a government that is on their side”.

Shadow minister Edward Agar told the House of the government focus on “growing the workforce” to spread the workload in the NHS.
