Cooks and bak­ers of the St Ann's Hos­pi­tal are ex­press­ing their frus­tra­tion over the lack of equip­ment to car­ry out their jobs.

The cooks say the stoves at the hos­pi­tal are mal­func­tion­ing and that there is a lack of wa­ter, which is hin­der­ing them from prepar­ing meals for pa­tients.

The cooks used pots and spoons as a sym­bol­ic ges­ture dur­ing their protest ac­tion, this morn­ing.

This is a de­vel­op­ing sto­ry and Guardian Me­dia will up­date it as de­tails come to hand.
