In Northern Ireland, from the late 70s to the early 90s, the IRA killed over 40 alleged informers.

But the man who often found, tortured and sometimes killed these people on behalf of the IRA

was himself an informer, a secret British army agent with the codename Stakeknife.

Who gets to play God? And why me? Why my family? When lies are still being told to this day,

Welcome to the download of Moneybox, live the programme about your money. And today

we are talking about continuing healthcare funding, the financial assistance that is available to many

people with long-term health problems. Hello, good afternoon. It's a little known fact that if you, or a relative,

has an ongoing health problem, the NHS could pay not just for your treatment in hospital,

but could also pay for all your care needs, be that in a private care home or even in your own home.

More than 160,000 people get exactly that support. Many more, we don't know

how many, feel they should get it. The scheme is known as continuing healthcare funding,

and it can be worth thousands of pounds per month. So how do you qualify for financial support

for long-term health problems?

What can you do if the support is withdrawn, as is happening to many people?

If you've a question, indeed, if you've a story to share with us to join the conversation,

our number is 0-3-700-100-444. Well, Lisa Morgan is a lawyer who specialises in

healthcare funding issues. She's head of the healthcare department at the lawyer's Hugh James. Lisa,

what sort of difference does this funding make for families?

It makes a huge difference.
