Long term care: Your questions

We answered your questions on long term care

BBC Radio 4's Money Box Live was broadcast on Monday, 12 June, 2006, at 1502 BST.

Money Box Live presenter Paul Lewis took your questions on long term care and put them to a panel of expert guests on Monday.

What can you do now to plan for the future? How much might you need? And what happens when the money runs out?

Our panel of experts were here to give you advice.
