The missing link here is the nursing workforce.

Nursing is crucial to a better future for health and social care, but there are tens of thousands of vacancies across every part of the system and every region in England.

I will never comprehend or understand how opening a food bank is something to celebrate! The closure of a food bank because it’s no longer needed would definitely be something to celebrate!
