East Riding of Yorkshire Labour councillors are appealing to residents in the county to contact them if they know of older people in care homes and hospitals who cannot feed themselves, yet are not being given the help they require.
Cllr Doreen Clark, Labour group spokesperson for Adult Services said: "Age Concern has been running the 'Hungry to be Heard' campaign to highlight cases of older people who are unable to feed themselves. We do not want this to happen in the East Riding."
Cllr Terry Allison, leader of the ERYC Labour Group, added: "We need to know if this is happening in care homes or medical facilities in the East Riding so we an investigate the matter and make sure people no longer suffer."
If you know of any cases of this happening, please contact the Labour Group on 01482 393241.
