Louise White sits in: Named persons, staycations and motability vehicles

Louise White sits in for Kaye Adams and asks if listeners would be happy for their child to have a named person. Plus she discusses staycations in Bristol.

The Scottish government has published changes to its controversial named person scheme.
The changes published on Tuesday aim to overcome those concerns.
They will ensure that public bodies can only share information about children if is likely to "promote, support or safeguard the wellbeing" of the child.
Public bodies will also be required to consider whether sharing the information would be compatible with data protection, human rights and confidentiality laws.
Only then will they be given the power to share the information.
Would you be happy for your child to have a named person under the new changes published yesterday?

We speak to the woman who is no longer housebound after she won back her Motability car.
Alex Thorburn is the Vice convenor for the Scottish Disability.
