One of Northern Ireland's largest care home groups, Four Seasons Health Care, has gone into administration. Two of the holding companies behind the firm appointed administrators yesterday after struggling to repay their debts. Four Seasons said the move would not affect care arrangements or lead to the closure of homes. The union Unite have now called on the Department of Health to nationalise Four Seasons "for benefit of staff and clients". Stephen spoke to Kevin McAdam from Unite, Alliance MLA Paula Bradshaw and DUP MLA Jim Wells.
