Eastern regional organiser Peter Passingham said: " It should come as a shock that health staff working in the fifth richest country in The World need food parcels to survive, but this is The Natural result of a decade of austerity eating away at wage levels and an Energy Crisis that's sent prices of food and fuel through The Roof .
" It highlights Once Again that the urgent need for the government to step in and deliver an inflation-busting NHS pay rise so that our highly trained, highly dedicated health staff aren't relying on charity to make ends meet. "
