:02:16. > :02:18.Stafford Hospital, where hundreds of people died needlessly through

:02:18. > :02:23.substandard care. The government insists it faces a

:02:23. > :02:28.stark choice between paying staff more or improving patient care.

:03:52. > :03:57.Ruth has two children, her husband earns more than £50,000 but she

:03:57. > :04:01.doesn't. She thinks the new charge on child benefit is unfair.

:04:01. > :04:05.The government should look at the total household income and not just

:04:05. > :04:09.the income of one parent who goes out to work while the other stays at

:04:09. > :04:12.home. It is just an attack on traditional family values.

:04:12. > :04:14.The high-income charge applies to household with children where one

:04:14. > :04:20.member owns over five -- £50,000. In household with children where one

:04:49. > :04:53.to do it by midnight. If people haven't registered by the

:04:53. > :04:59.5th of October and they continue to nothing -- to do nothing, they could

:04:59. > :05:05.face charges. That is not what we want people to do. If they have not

:05:05. > :05:08.registered, it is important to register and to file the returns.

:05:08. > :05:12.That way we can help mitigate the charge.

:05:12. > :05:16.The message is simple. If you are not sure whether the new charge

:05:16. > :05:20.applies to you can your better off registering for self-assessment by
