As part of our election coverage, this morning we focus on rural services and especially on health care. Charlotte Smith visits a GP surgery in the Surrey Hills to hear from  Dr Emma Watts and patients about what they're hoping to hear from politicians in the election manifestos.
This week we are comparing the environmental impact of different production methods of beef. Today we visit Ian Willison's 200 acre farm in Nottinghamshire.
To help us through this period of electioneering, we've set up an expert panel to consider all the arguments and promises made by the parties, relating to farming, the environment, fishing and rural services. Today we introduce our rural services expert, Professor Mark Shucksmith.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
