NHS Fines, Pet Food Labels, Organic Food Sales, University Fees
You and YoursAvailable for over a year
We hear how hospitals in England could be fined £200 million by NHS Trusts this year - and it could cost patients in the long run. Universities are told to make sure the stick to the consumer laws when they tell students what they'll get on their courses. Organic food sales in the UK are rising - but organic food production is down. We ask why. Dogs seem to eat what they want - but do owners care what's in pet food? New research suggests pet food labels may not tell the whole story. Has DIY had its day? After B&Q announced store closure - we ask expert DIY Tommy Walsh if we've had enough of doing it for ourselves. And we hear how some people who want to appeal their business rates may not be getting the help they pay for. PRESENTER: PETER WHITE PRODUCER: ROB CAVE.
