Jill Ingle, from Sheffield, took to social media in despair (left, her Facebook post) after her daughter Niamh, 21 (right, with her mother), returned home from her second consecutive night shift having not eaten a bite - and too exhausted to care.
Ms Ingle, a former nurse herself, says Niamh handed back the meal she had taken to work both nights - but not managed to eat.
The post has been shared and liked more than 3,700 times since it was uploaded. Ms Ingle believes the cuts to the NHS mean younger generations of nurses and midwives are being worked to the bone.
Writing on Facebook about the night Niamh came home exhausted, Ms Ingle said: 'She looked terrible - and I looked into those eyes that you see here and I saw a desperation.
'The powers that be are breaking people - breaking people like my daughter, breaking junior doctors, breaking the ill people who they look after with the changes to benefits and the rest. Whilst we read about the rich - and how they live their lives...'
