Prostitution websites, the NHS at 70 - funding cuts to women's services

A look at the consequences of online sex work and the need for legislation. Plus the programme discusses how NHS funding cuts have impacted on women's health services.

As sex work moves online, are prostitution websites enabling a growth in exploitation and trafficking? Sarah Champion MP tells us why she believes UK legislation needs to be radically overhauled to keep pace with the changing face of prostitution.

The NHS at 70. The NHS has been in existence for 70 years this week, but how has it changed in that time? We look at the impact of funding cuts on women's health services. Jenni is joined by Professor Lesley Regan, President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and by Dr Anne Connolly, a GP from Bradford and Chair of the Primary Care Woman's Health Forum.

Being fostered: Fiona and her foster mother Marie share their experiences of their foster care relationship. Fiona was abandoned at a supermarket as a baby, went into care and had years of problems, but with Marie's help she's turned her life around and has just finished university.
