Care Vaccinations; Lockdown Cleaning; Staycation Prices

We hear listener concerns that home care workers refusal to take the coronavirus vaccination is putting relatives at risk. And is the price of a UK staycation set to rise?

The vast majority of people in the UK who need care are cared for at home - over a million people. We've been contacted by a listener who says the carers who look after her husband have openly said they won't take the Covid-19 vaccine. It follows reports from the National Care Association that one in five staff may refuse the jab. The CEO of one of the biggest care providers, Barchester Care, say they're instituting a 'No Jab, No Job' policy for any new recruits - we'll hear from them on today's programme

Lots of us did plenty of decluttering and spring cleaning in the first lockdown - but that was when the weather was better and staying at home was something of a novelty. But now that we're in a third lockdown and the winter gloom has firmly set in...can you be bothered?! Aggie Mackenzie, from 'How Clean Is Your House' tells us why we really should be.

And with a summer holiday abroad all but written off this year, what will that do for prices of holiday accommodation here in the UK? Reports this week suggested that some hoilday parks are increasing prices by around 15%. Will the UK tourist industry seek to cash-in on the staycation boom?
