Crippling Care Costs

Television presenter Kate Garraway has spoken of her huge debts from her husband Derek Draper's care bills.

He died from the long-term effects of Covid, in January, but she had been told he "wasn't sick enough" for funded care.

Other families have told BBC News how they too struggle to pay the bills after failing to meet the criteria for comprehensive support.
