The programme is long and can be heard in a minute. That is - soon. You'll need a good half hour before you reach the right spot. Peel the potatoes but be ready with pen and paper.

Perhaps people you know have started to talk about the programme. The Care and Support Bill will already be fluent to many.

They'll already be wired up to talk about the Carers Rights Day in their area .
