Telecare and doorstep fraud
Peter White speaks to the man who gave 250,000 pounds over eight years to fraudsters claiming to be doing garden maintenance work.
The first interview with a man with Parkinsons who, over the course of eight years, gave away more than a quarter of million pounds to fraudsters. You can also hear from his carer who found out what was going on and went to the police. Peter looks at the future of care at home. Some local authorities and housing associations are investigating technology like motion and heat sensors, video cameras and GPS to monitor people who need support. And, as a report is published looking at whether all-inclusive holidays really do save you money, we debate what's attractive about them with two travel heavyweights.
