Discussing funding cuts for hospices and why more pupils are shunning the violin in favour of drums.
Campaigners say fifty percent of the hospices in England have had their NHS funding either cut or frozen this year alone. The charity Help the Hospices says currently 92,000 people die each year without the support they need. We hear your stories of hospice care. Plus
new figures suggest more than 400 workers in the health, emergency service and transport sectors are kicked punched and spat at while doing their job every week. Workers tell us how they have been assaulted while trying to help. And are more pupils shunning instruments like the flute and violin in favour of the guitar and drums? We speak to pianist James Rhodes and Mercury prize nominee Anna Calvi.
