Tesco and Marks & Spencer unveiled dedicated slots after a heartbreaking video by critical care nurse Dawn Bilbrough begged hoarders to be considerate. Please.”Tesco has now said the hour before official opening every Sunday will be a shopping slot exclusively for NHS staff, with ID checks to keep out hoarders. “So from this Sunday we’re going to introduce a special hour for NHS staff as a thank you for all they are doing. The Royal College of Nursing and Royal College of Physicians have now urged 12 major chains to create priority shopping times for all frontline workers. Our frontline staff ensure the health and wellbeing of our country and we must do all that we can to support them in their efforts.”Union Unison welcomed the move to help NHS staff.
