5 Live News Specials

Available for over a year

Nicky Campbell speaks to 5 Live listeners about their experiences of care homes during lockdown. The phone-in was inspired by a call from Lynn in Trafford - because of local lockdowns in her area she cannot visit her husband who has dementia and lives in a care home. She told us honestly and eloquently how she feels she is letting her husband down - unable to be there for him. She described the situation as 'inhuman'.
