A group of fourteen prominent mental health groups is warning that new draft guidance to the NHS on how depression should be treated, is misleading, unfit for purpose and could harm patients. The organisations, which include the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the charity, MIND, say that the guidance, issued by NICE - the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence - is based on fundamental flaws in how the effectiveness of treatments is measured. NICE says they will meet soon to review and discuss the comments and will respond in due course. A health economist explains how NHS money is rationed, with difficult decisions made about which treatments are offered to NHS patients.

Nobody wants the bailiffs at their door. But what if they arrive demanding payment of someone else's debt? One listener describes how bailiffs arrived at his home and his difficulty in persuading them that that the debtor no longer lived there.

We examine whether bailiffs have an obligation to check a person's identity before demanding payment.

They call it supersizing - everything from huge burgers to big chunky cars that take up more room in parking spaces. It turns out the same thing is now happening on Britain's canals. Widebeam barges, described as 'fat boats' by critics, are growing in popularity. They can be more than twice as wide as traditional narrow boats and some canal users say they are taking up too much space. Widebeam owners will also soon face higher charges for using canals and are being urged to take steering tests.
