MORRISONS is introducing an NHS hour at all its stores to allow health workers to shop for groceries.
Chief Executive David Potts said: "Many NHS workers have said that they are struggling to buy the products they need at the beginning or the end of their shift, as supermarkets have seen unprecedented demand.
"So we’re responding by introducing an NHS hour at all our stores at the beginning of every day, Monday to Saturday, so NHS workers can shop for groceries for themselves and their families.
"This will be from 7am to 8am and a Morrisons colleague will be on the door to let staff with an NHS badge in.
"Our new opening hours for all our other customers are 8am to 8pm, Monday to Saturday. On Sundays we’ll be open as usual."
