Doctors' tribunals, dads of disabled kids and annoying noises

Radical changes in how doctors regulate themselves. Also - do the dads of disabled children need special help over and above mothers? And innovative ways to beat noise pollution.

Seven years after the Shipman Enquiry called for changes in how doctors regulate themselves. It's finally happening - today.

Presented by Julian Worricker
Produced by Paul Waters.
