We focus on the struggling home care provider, Southern Cross, in a special Wake Up To Money programme.

Representatives of Southern Cross are meeting with their landlords, lenders and the Department of Health, to thrash out a deal to try and keep Britain's biggest care home provider afloat. We speak to experts including William Laing, a health care analyst at Laing and Buisson, Peter Beresford, professor of social policy at Brunel University, and Dr Ros Altmann, director-general of Saga.

We also look at what the Chancellor, George Osborne, is going to tell the City at his annual Mansion House speech. The Chancellor is expected to say that he wants to see the UK's banks ring-fence their retail operations, so high street banking is sealed off from riskier investment banking divisions. Ralph Silva, banking analyst at SRN joins us.
