If you have any questions or comments you would like to put to Lord Broers on the growth of technology and its implications for us as consumers get in touch.
Give us your views on either topic by calling us on 0800 044 044 or emailing us

CONTINUING CARE
The NHS is facing a bill of £180 million pounds to repay people who have been billed for care in residential homes that should have been free.
