DIY weddings, Social care, Arriva Trains fines

How people are buying more craft accessories to hopefully save money when they are organising their weddings, plus a report on an innovative approach to save money in social care.

We report from St Helen's in Merseyside where the Clinical Commissioning Group is bringing district nursing and care together as a single service. It's an innovative approach to social care and the council hopes it will save them money, and provide a better quality of care. Winifred visits Whiston Hospital to see how the idea works in practice.

The Leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies, has written to Arriva Trains Wales after concerns passengers are being fined hundreds of pounds and taken to court because they didn't have a train ticket. The passengers argue the ticket machines would not accept cash or weren't working.

Hobbycraft is reporting a boom in sales of wedding accessories- we talk to the couples celebrating their big days on a budget.

Royal Mail is not following best practice when it comes to sharing customer's data with third parties. Our listeners tell us their details are being shared when they sign up to re-direction services and they don't tick the opt out box on the form.
