Why the NHS is plagued with absenteeism, and are we really becoming a nation of cyclists? Winifred Robinson presents.
The Chancellor says cutting the number of sick days in the NHS could save 脗拢555m. So why is absenteeism such a problem for the health service? Also on the health agenda - gene patenting. Why gene patents (including two linked to breast cancer) have been ruled unlawful in the United States. Plus Winifred investigates the world of online dating and asks if the recession has hit romance in cyberspace. And do old fashioned lightbulbs really keep your gas bill down? Keeping up the healthy theme our reporter, Melanie Abbott, goes out and about to see if cycling projects designed to get us out of our cars and on to our bikes are proving to be a success.
