Synopsis
The MS Society is closing residential care centres and moving towards a more "personalised service". Is this a model for respite care that other charities might follow? The National Passenger Survey of rail users has been published - what are the results? Why some ex-pats in France are having their food shopping shipped in from the UK. And could wind turbines attached to giant kites really be an energy source for the future?
