Nurse attempted to take on life after Covid-19 stress and 'daily threats' became too much

David Morgan, 39, is a qualified nurse but is currently living on £320 a month Universal Credit, as due to his experience of dealing with Covid-19 and the other pressures of his job getting so bad, he tried to take his own life.

He said: "I remember just wanting to end it, to not have to think about it anymore. Every day I'd go to work, go through the air lock, nurse patients medicate patients, all while fending off physical abuse, sexual abuse, mental abuse and then add Covid to that. It was too much.

"I had a breakdown and I just left work and never went back. I'm just staying with family now in Llanelli, living on £320 a-month universal credit."
