Starving Brits have been turning up at GP surgeries asking doctors to prescribe nutritional shakes and help with food shopping because they can't afford to eat.
Dr Helen Wall says the "working families" she sees are feeling "humiliated" and "embarrassed" for seeking help with their financial struggles.
Dr Wall - who says she's no stranger to patients struggling financially - believes the "last couple of weeks" has felt "different" because people she's received struggling patients who wouldn't have been impacted before.
