BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Back to work schemes, the jam that isn't, and apps on the NHS

Back to work schemes, the jam that isn't, and apps on the NHS with Winifred Robinson.

The government consultation period on disability policy closes soon. We join one of the group consultations taking place around the country, and speak to Maria Miller, Minister for Disabled People. A back to work scheme in Essex offering tailor-made advice and placements to jobseekers - could it have a wider application? When is a jam not a jam - when it's an apple jam that officials say can't be called a jam, a conserve, or even a spread. Apps on the NHS - we look at one of the many new technologies helping patients, and doctors, manage their conditions and save money. And a new tv series looks at the trials and tribulations of British consular staff in Spain - Winifred Robinson hears about the crime, injury, and insurance all in a day's work for "Our Man In". 

Producer: Rebecca Moore.
