The NHS, Film-Maker Deeyah Khan, Women in Construction

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, The NHS, Film-Maker Deeyah Khan, Women in Construction

The NHS, Deeyah Khan and women in construction.

Jenni Murray presents the programme that offers a female perspective on the world, including the NHS, Deeyah Khan and women in construction.

A recent poll for Woman's Hour on politics indicated that the NHS was the number one issue among women. BBC Health Correspondent Branwyn Jeffreys reviews the issues and we are joined by GP Dr Catherine Glass and Dr Jennifer Dixon, CEO of the Health foundation to talk about their concerns.
Deeyah Khan signed her first record deal in Oslo aged 13, but repeated harassment and threats from her own community led to her abandoning her career and leaving her family. Since then she has become a film maker and activist, passionate about freedom of expression. She tells Jenni her story.
We hear about parenting in Shakepeare's plays - today focussing on disobedient daughters.
And, as the government launches a new campaign to get more women into construction we're joined by Roma Agrawal, who was a senior member of the team that did the structural engineering on the Shard in London.

Presenter: Jenni Murray
Producer: Corinna Jones.
