The beauty treatments pushing at the limits of technology and legality, mobile home owners protesting against unacceptable living conditions, and a proposed cap on payday loans.

At least 20 NHS hospital trusts are not fit for purpose according to a National Audit Office report. Winifred Robinson speaks to the report's author.
Payday loan debts have quadrupled in 2 years, so would capping interest rates help borrowers or make the situation worse?
Mobile home owners yesterday handed in a petition to government to highlight their survey findings into unacceptable conditions for residents, in particular the practice of sale blocking by park owners. We speak to the British Mobile and Holiday Park Association about these findings.

And with beauty one of the few sectors of the economy not suffering in the recession we look at the buy one get one free cosmetic surgery offers worrying surgeons.
