With Julian Worricker. A panel of experts look at housing; how to get hold of information about Southern Cross care homes; and why Deep Vein Thrombosis targets are not being met.

On You and Yours with Julian Worricker today we take a thorough look at the housing market: renting, buying and housing stock. We also find out where families affected by the closure of Southern Cross, the UK's biggest care home chain, can get the latest information. And our reporter sees new evidence which states that a third of our hospitals in England are not meeting targets when it comes to assessing DVT risks in their patients.
