Listener feedback; numbers of hospital beds decline as admissions go up; frailty diagnosis

Feedback on sex education, off licence use of drugs and drinking smoothies. Hospital bed numbers go down as admissions go up; plus calls for frailty to be an official diagnosis.

In the last of the current series Mark Porter answers your feedback on sex education, off licence use of drugs and drinking smoothies instead of eating fruit.

Plus hospital bed numbers have been halved over 25 years, while admissions have rocketed - up by 3 million in the last decade alone; Inside Health discusses how hospitals have been coping.

Plus calls for frailty to be an official diagnosis rather than simply a general description - Mark Porter examines the implications.

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