Frank Bruno and his daughter Rachel tell us about living with mental illness. Frank Bruno has bipolar disorder and has been sectioned three times in the last ten years.

A decade ago Frank Bruno was sectioned under the Mental Health Act, suffering from Bipolar Affective Disorder, also known as manic depression. In 2012, with the permission of his family, Frank Bruno was twice readmitted to a specialist mental health unit at Basildon Hospital in Essex. Frank Bruno and his daughter Rachel talk to Tony about the impact of mental illness.

Also a scheme announced by Nick Clegg to get young people back into work is proving something of a failure. Fewer than 3 thousand people have found long term work through the Youth Contract, almost 95% short of its target. Tony hears from people on the scheme and employers.
