Kaye Adam asks if the age of eligibility for free bus passes should be raised in Scotland.

Kaye asks if the age of eligibility for free bus passes should be raised and if listeners will be changing their diets after burnt toast and potatoes were labelled a 'cancer risk'.

Transport Scotland has confirmed that there is going to be a public consultation on the age in which people in Scotland will qualify for a bus pass.
It is understood current holders of the free bus pass will be unaffected but the programme for government said that it would "examine options to safeguard the longer-term sustainability of the concessionary travel scheme".

Free bus passes for the over 60s is one of the scottish government's flagship policies....but can we afford it?

Also on the programme: 
Sanfilippo syndrome - also called Childhood Alzheimer's is a genetic condition so rare its thought to affect only one little girl in Scotland. We speak to her dad, Darren Scott, about how the family refuses to give up on a cure 

Bread, chips and potatoes should be cooked to a golden yellow colour, rather than brown, to reduce our intake of a chemical which could cause cancer, government food scientists are warning. So what should we be eating to minimise the risk of getting cancer?

Borderline Personality Disorder is often difficult to define or record. It is suggested as many as 1 in 5 of us could be living with the disorder and as part of our Mental Well-being Monday we speak to the woman who waited 20 years for her diagnosis and how she can now LIVE well with BPD.
Are you affected by borderline personality disorder? What is your experience? You can call 0500 92 95 00 or text 80295.
