Who should pay for your old age care?

Did you have to sell the family home? Is that fair?

There is mounting anger that the government has not come up with a funding plan for our old age care despite saying they want to cap our contributions at 拢35,000.

We are talking about the Kent Air Ambulance and what it means to the people of Kent.

Only yesterday it landed on the M20 after a young woman fell from a bridge over the motorway at Kennington.

This morning 大象传媒 Radio Kent revealed the service could save thousands of pounds from a proposal to have the VAT it pays on fuel refunded. Rules on the tax, set by Europe, does not allow a "zero rating" for air ambulances, unlike other emergency vehicles.

We speak to Kayleigh Griffiths who the age of 22, while driving across a Kent field, suffered a cardiac arrest at the wheel.

She was taken by Air Ambulance to the Royal London Hospital.

We hear your views and stories.
