Homeless teens, 'granny dumping' and driving music
Terry hears the story of a Suffolk teenager who is preganant and homeless. The MP for Ipswich tells Terry 'granny dumping' is happening in Suffolk. And does music affect how you drive?
Our west Suffolk producer Philippa Taylor meets a homeless 17-year-old girl who is expecting a baby in April. Roxie has been homeless for more than a year - and she says the authorities just aren't interested in finding her somewhere to live. Terry asks Suffolk County Counil if more can be done.
As part of our Who Cares? week of programmes there's a warning this morning that so-called 'granny dumping' could become more prevalent again as the cuts begin to bite. People across the health services say they have anecdotal evidence which will shows elderly people are routinely left at accident and emergency departments - particularly just before holiday periods.
We have a series of reports on the issue.
And can music affect the way you drive? A new study says rock fans are most likely to swear and gesture at other drivers, jazz listeners are most likely to get a speeding ticket but classical music soothes and relaxes drivers. Terry asks David Williams from GEM, the Guild of Experienced Motorists what he thinks.
