5 Live Investigates

Some ticket resale companies allow customers to get tickets they wouldn't have otherwise been able to obtain, at a fair price. But others charge inflated prices for poor seats, and in some cases tickets fail to arrive on time - or at all.

So how is the ticket resale market policed? Critics say new legislation brought in last year isn't working and is openly flouted by some companies. The programme reveals a loophole meaning some foreign firms are illegally selling football season tickets. With fans booking travel, hotels and family celebrations around these events, what's the redress when things go wrong? Fans ask for answers, and ticket resellers and those who police the sector respond.

The programme also reveals a previously unknown legacy of World War II. In order to prevent enemy invasion Churchill decided to lay hundreds of pipe mines at 33 airfields within 15 miles of the East coast in case of mass landings by the Luftwaffe. They were never properly cleared and most of the former airfields were subsequently sold off and built on. Bomb disposal experts involved in this 1980s operation are concerned about the risks posed by the un-cleared mines.

5 live Investigates takes a look behind bars via a series of leaked prison incident reports from a five day period in January this year. With over a hundred incidents, prison officers and staff question whether safety can be assured. And the number of central call outs to control instability; so called 'Gold Command Incidents' have also been steadily rising over the last 3 years. Ex prisoners and their families say levels of violence are unprecedented.

The programme also reveals, for the first time, the full extent of long waits in accident and emergency departments in England. New figures obtained from the Health and Social Care Information Centre, reveal how many patients spent more than 12 hours in casualty in the last three years. The devolved nations of the UK already regularly publish this information, but the NHS in England does not. What do the figures show about the state of our emergency departments?

Delayed transfers of care from hospital wards means beds aren't available for patients waiting in accident and emergency. The programme hears from an NHS trust in England about the extent of the problem. The proportion of patients spending more than 12 hours in A&E is also on the rise in Wales, the programme hears about the problems there.

And delays in criminal record checks mean some workers are left unable to work pending their application being processed. Some employers say its also affecting business.

The number of patients facing delays of more than 12 hours in A&E is on the rise. The current NHS target is for 95% of patients to be discharged, transferred or admitted into hospital for treatment within 4 hours. But new figures, obtained under Freedom of Information powers, reveal that many patients in England are waiting for longer, in some cases, more than 12 hours. The programme hears how for some patients, the delay can be disastrous.

And, new research shows the extent to which women and girls in England face violence and abuse. Many of these women have a mental disorder, but are unable to obtain support or counselling. As society comes to terms with the aftermath of notorious abuse scandals, is there enough help for the victims who need it? And what happens to those who don't get it?

1000 baby deaths a year could be avoided if UK maternity care matched the best in Europe. Statistics for 2013 show that 5,700 babies died either before, during or shortly after birth. The UK has a mortality rate for babies that lags behind that achieved in Sweden and Norway. 5Live Investigates asks - why is the UK doing so badly in comparison? The programme finds some babies have died because of a failure to adequately monitor mum and baby during the final stages of pregnancy and during labour. Figures from the hospital regulator, the CQC, reveal that of the 95 maternity units they inspected in England last year - 38 were below the required standard.

The programme investigates deaths linked to benzodiazepines, addictive drugs used to treat stress and anxiety. While they are available via prescription, they should only be given for short periods of time, but patients who have been on them for years claim its difficult to get off them and there's little NHS support.

There is growing concern about their availability online, one family tells how their son tragically died after ordering pills on the internet.

And, the professional fundraisers who claim to be raising money for charity but keep the majority of the proceeds themselves. How can you tell where your money is really going?

New figures reveal the scale of problems with the quality of care at A&E departments. 5 live Investigates reveals that there were over a quarter of a million patient safety incidents in A&E and other casualty departments over the last three financial years. The majority of these incidents did not involve harm to patients but over the last three years, there have been thousands of patient safety incidents linked to patient deaths or serious harm. 5 live Investigates has also discovered that more than half the A&E departments in England and Wales have been rated as either "inadequate" or "requires improvement" by the health watchdog, the Care Quality Commission.
