Inquiry into carers' payment scandal

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The government has announced an independent review of overpayments to carers - after ministers acknowledged some people had been pushed to "breaking point". We speak live to the Liberal Democrat leader - and carer - Sir Ed Davey. Also tonight: A bill to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales has been formally introduced in Parliament. We hear the view of the Silent Witness actor - and disability rights campaigner - Liz Carr. And the composer of the score for a newly restored silent Sherlock Holmes film.
