RNIB Scotland's concern over a transfer of their administration to Action for Blind People

RNIB Scotland express concern about the transfer of their administration to the English 'Action for Blind People' group. Plus Liz Duncan from Sense offers advice on hearing loss.

RNIB UK has recently decided to transfer the administration of RNIB Scotland to the English group Action for Blind People. RNIB Scotland's Chair Sandra Wilson and former chair Ken Reid express their concern about the lack of consultation with members about this decision, and say the plans feel wrong when politically the trends in Scotland are towards devolution and not centralisation.
Lesley-Anne Alexander, CEO RNIB UK responds.

Liz Duncan from Sense offers advice to people who are blind but now also facing hearing loss.
And remembering the visually impaired actor Kitty McGeever, who has died aged 44.

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