NHS staff in Wales advised on how to access food banks

An NHS worker was left feeling "sad" and "incredulous" after bosses sent staff an email with advice on how to access food banks.

The worker, who wished to remain anonymous, told BBC Wales the increase was "a step in the right direction" but added: "I don't know how much help that will be considering how much inflation is going up.'It feels like I'm being priced out of existence'The email, sent to NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership staff, was entitled "Financial well-being support" and said: "Things are difficult for many of us, with the ongoing cost of living crisis.

The staff member said that after putting in so much extra work during the pandemic the email felt "very hollow - like what we were doing was not appreciated enough by governing bodies". "I was a bit incredulous as well that people would be left to suffer after giving so much of their time and energy to helping others."Hugh McDyer, head of health at the Unison Cymru Wales union, said it came as "no surprise", and his organisation had seen claims of work poverty and members not being able to pay the bills "rise exponentially".
