whether doctors are feeling the pressure, and whether patients have

This time last year, this centre was preparing for some major changes. I

have to be confident. This woman told us she hoped it would not

in the beginning. Why did those changes have to happen? When we

first met this doctor he know what patients he was preparing to become

knew that reporting to his omission in group meant he would see less of

Minister to launch an inquiry into why increasing numbers of people are

having to use food banks. The Labour he's worried that they're becoming

an institutionalised part of the current trend continues, there'll be

Volunteers prepare the food bank at St Chad's Church in Leasowe this

afternoon. It's quiet today with few clients. But in the year since it

have a job may need to use the food bank because they have had a big

eight to buy and that has left them short of money. And the complicated

:14:31.:14:34.

reasons behind the increased use in food banks are why Frank Field wants

:14:34.:14:42.

the PM to order an inquiry. I am dumbfounded about the numbers of

:14:42.:14:45.

people who have to rely on food banks. While a lot of people have

:14:45.:14:51.

views about how this is, we do not know and I have asked him to conduct

:14:51.:14:57.

an inquiry. Long before food banks become a natural way of life. Among

:14:57.:15:01.

the issues Mr Field wants an inquiry to tackle are, why do families

become hungry? How does debt affect household management skills tackle
