Welsh NHS staff given advice on how to access food banks

Members of NHS staff in Wales have been sent an email from bosses with advice on how to access food banks. The email was reportedly sent to NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership staff, a body that provided logistical support for health services.

It was entitled 'Financial Well-Being Support' and gave money-saving tips for parents to help them through the summer holidays, linked to articles on how to access a food bank and provided information on a service that tells you where to find them.

One worker told BBC Wales that they were "incredulous" after being sent the email and added that after putting in extra work during the coronavirus pandemic the email felt "very hollow - like what we were doing was not appreciated enough by governing bodies".
