BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, 24/12/2014

A special programme looking in-depth at the NHS, with Ritula Shah.

A special edition of the programme examining the future of the NHS and social care. Are we paying enough? Presented by Ritula Shah.

In this special edition of the programme, we examine the future of the National Health Service. Can better care in the community end the 'crisis' of full hospitals and overwhelmed Accident and Emergency services. Opinion polls suggest that voters see the NHS as one of the most important political issues in the UK, so it will be a key issue in the 2015 General Election. But is anyone prepared to pay more? Presented by Ritula Shah.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
