Are health care workers being asked to do jobs that many consider to be the role of nurses and doctors? Can a religion originate from a film?
The chances are if you need the care of the NHS you will be in the hands of a health care assistant. Yet there is no formal guidelines for their role and training. We investigate claims that patients lives are being put at risk by workers asked to do jobs many consider to be the role of nurses and even doctors.
David Whiteley revisits some of the stories from the last series. Did a community in Suffolk succeed in silencing hundreds of parrots? Will campaigners in Saffron Walden get their cycle path? And the latest on the battle over turning of street lights in our towns.
New religions are being formed all the time. But can something based on a movie really be a religion? A Jedi master, the Bishop of Chelmsford and a Cambridge expert tell us what they think.

Hospital support workers say they have been left alone on wards with up to 40 patients, with junior staff asked to take blood samples and insert IV drips.
Health secretary Jeremy Hunt said record numbers of healthcare assistants were being trained.
