Edi Stark investigates the plight of elderly citizens caring for disadvantaged relatives, partners or friends; Graham Stewart takes your calls.

Ahead of Carers' Rights Day on Friday, Edi Stark investigates the untold story of elderly carers in Scotland; people who care, unpaid, for friends, neighbours and family who cannot live independently due to issues like frailty, disability, illness or addiction. They're saving the state a fortune and facing poverty and ill-health in the process.

Are you an elderly carer? What issues are you facing? Are you crying out for more help? Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.

Public health minister Shona Robison MSP is in our studio to address some of the issues raised.
