Are there too many charities for blind people? We talk to the Chief Executive of the RNIB about why she would like to see more mergers within the sector. But would fewer charities mean better service for blind and partially sighted people? We'll be hearing from Guide Dogs and Visionary, which represents 120 local vision loss charities. Guests: Lesley-Anne Alexander, RNIB Richard Leaman, Guide Dogs Association for the Blind Angela Tinker, Visionary Presenter: Peter White Producer: Steven Williams.
