So, is the public being let down by the system? Reporter Bronagh Munro meets the victims left to investigate their own crimes and goes on the trail of the criminals who have escaped justice.

A new generation of anti-obesity drugs are being hailed as game changers for the NHS and for millions of patients. So-called 'skinny jabs' like Wegovy have largely been the preserve of celebrities and those with the money to buy them privately, but now the NHS is beginning to roll them out. So will they live up to the hype, how available will they be, and is the NHS ready for a revolution in treating obesity?

The regulator, the Care Quality Commission, has said that maternity services at the trust are inadequate and Panorama has calculated that maternal deaths there are almost double the national average. The trust says that it's deeply sorry for failings in its care and that it's made improvements to its maternity services.

Panorama investigates a private hospital chain being used to help clear the NHS waiting list. With more than six million people in England alone waiting for an operation on the NHS, Monika Plaha investigates the safety record of one of the UK's biggest private healthcare providers. Private hospitals can offer a quick and safe solution to patients who may be in pain and facing long NHS waits, but what happens if things go wrong? Most private hospitals lack intensive care facilities and rely on the NHS if patients develop complications. We look at the warnings received by one hospital where two patients died after waiting for transfer, only for a third person to die after a 14-hour wait to get them to NHS emergency facilities just one mile down the road.

Panorama reveals how equipment failure and power cuts can leave motorists in danger if they break down. When the system isn’t working, the cameras won’t see you, the radar won’t find you and you’ll have no idea the motorway isn’t smart anymore. Reporter Richard Bilton meets the people whose lives have been changed by the roads that keep failing.

It has been described as the worst treatment disaster in NHS history. Since then, around 3,000 of those infected have died, but many of their relatives have yet to receive any compensation. A public inquiry opened in 2018 to discover what really happened, and in May it will deliver its final report. Reporter Jim Reed meets the families of some of the 380 children with bleeding disorders who were infected with HIV and talks to them about what they have lost, their campaign for justice, and what they hope for from the inquiry.

Panorama goes undercover in the Probation Service and reveals how easy it is for convicted criminals to go on the run, that drug tests are not being carried out because they are too expensive, and that staff are failing to carry out regular room searches. The Probation Service is supposed to help keep the public safe and reduce reoffending when criminals are released from prison, but Panorama reveals a system described by staff as broken. The programme hears from families whose loved ones have been murdered by offenders on probation and reveals new figures for serious crimes, including rape and murder, committed by those on probation.
