UK healthcare boss slams stockpilers for 'selfish shopping' that's leaving stores bare and healthcare workers unable to buy food after long shifts
Phil Noble/Reuters
"It is critical that by not stockpiling, by not selfishly shopping, by leaving these supplies for others too, that our health workers are able to get access to what they need," he said. "It is incredibly important that they too have access to food and to those essential supplies that they need," NHS England national medical director Stephen Powis said.In the interview, Powis referenced a video shared by a critical care nurse earlier this week, which took off on social media. In the video, nurse Dawn Bilbrough broke down in tears after visiting a local supermarket and finding that it was out basic foods. In the video, she begged panic-buyers to stop stockpiling.
