Welsh NHS staff advised how to access food banks

  1. Foodbanks are there for emergency short-term situations. We don’t really have regulars because if we did we’d run out of food. People with long-term problems (as caused by this cost of living crisis) need a different type of help and sending them to us won’t help. We can give them a food parcel now and again (our rules are three in a six month period) but we just don’t have the food or staff to manage any more than that.

    We’re just about keeping on top of things now and this is normally our quiet period. When people start turning on their heating things are gonna get bad and quickly.

  2. We had this in Hampshire in my CCG months ago, a list of various food banks in the area for us to go to – no news of pay rises in months though

  3. We have had the same down here. The high cost of living does not help and only means staff leave to get more money elsewhere. Love of the job does not change the fact that we do not get paid London-weighted wages but live in an area where the cost of living is just as high.
