Which? responds to NHS letter stating that energy crisis is risking people's health

Rocio Concha, Which? Director of Policy and Advocacy, said:

"This worrying warning from NHS leaders underlines the urgency of this crisis and the dire situation millions of people face as the cost of energy bills and other essentials soars.

"The government must move quickly to increase the amount of financial support available to struggling families and households through the challenging months ahead, and work with businesses in essential sectors, such as supermarkets, energy and telecoms to ensure they do everything in their power to ensure customers are getting the best possible deals. "Anyone anxious about their energy bills should speak to their supplier as soon as possible, as energy firms have a duty to help households and may be able to arrange a more affordable payment plan."
