Dementia care
BBC Inside Out examines the weaknesses in the quality of training and care on offer to people with dementia in care homes and hospitals.
This week, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) published its inspection report, Cracks in the Pathway, which found dementia care is variable in some care homes and hospitals in England.

Misdiagnosis of early onset dementia
Misdiagnosed or lacking specialist help, many people living with young onset dementia in the North West are not getting the support they need.
Difficulties diagnosing dementia, combined with a social support system which is geared towards the elderly, means that those aged between 30 and 65 often struggle.
Alan Henning
The beheading of Salford taxi driver Alan Henning in Syria has been felt most strongly in his home town of Eccles, north-west England.
The BBC's Asian Network reporter Catrin Nye met Mr Henning and travelled on the convoys to Syria with his friends and fellow aid workers.
