  BBC Radio 4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BBC Radio 4 is a British domestic radio station which broadcasts a wide variety of chiefly spoken-word programmes including news, drama, comedy, science and history.
Because the long-wave service can be received clearly at sea in the vicinity of the British Isles, Radio 4 also carries regular weather forecasts for shipping and, when necessary, gale warnings.
It had previously been known (following the fusion in late 1939 of the pre-war National and Regional Programmes) as the BBC Home Service, in distinction from the General Overseas Service of the BBC (now the BBC World Service); these stations were known familiarly as 'Home' and 'Away'.

 BBC - The Service   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The locus of long-term care is no longer in state funded hospitals but in nursing homes, access to which is subject to means testing.
District nurses, for example, have become more involved in the provision of post-operative care and less involved in the provision of routine home-based nursing care, and their work is evaluated in terms of ‘tasks’ rather than ‘care’.
Consequently care at home, such as help with getting up and going to bed, or with bathing, is less likely to be available free of charge from the health service and more likely to be available only from means-tested social services.
