Do Alzheimer's carers need more help?

BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Extra, Do Alzheimer's carers need more help?

John Suchet on his wife's dementia and Should supermarkets pay for excess packaging?

Broadcaster John Suchet has been talking about his wife's dementia. Plus: Should supermarkets foot the bill for excess packaging? Graham Stewart takes your calls.

The broadcaster, John Suchet, has been speaking publicly for the first time about his wife's dementia. He has access to specialist help because he lives in a part of London where the NHS has paid for eight Admiral Nurses. He's lucky: there are only about 70 in England, and Scotland doesn't yet have any.

Plus: Should supermarkets foot the bill for dealing with excess packaging?

The Local Government Association says UK supermarkets produce too much packaging, almost 40% of which is non-recyclable. It argues supermarkets should pay towards the collection of their packaging as an incentive to cut back.
