Dr Rosena Allin-Khan shared details with Kay Burley about how the cost of living crisis is affecting the patients she treats when she works in hospitals.

“In A&E, we see people who have attempted to take their own lives with the reason being ‘doctor, I don’t know how to feed my family. I don’t know how to heat my home’… We’re seeing toddlers coming in with burns because of burst hot water bottles,” she said.

The Shadow Minister for Mental Health called on the government to increase benefits in line with inflation.
