I have had direct experience of the issue of travel. Carers are predominantly female. Depending on when shifts end, in a 24-hour shift divided between people, a young woman could leave a house in a particular area at 10 p.m. or midnight. Given the focus on events arising in the past month, what kind of concerns do care workers express about that? I am sure there is some kind of preference for walking or cycling rather than using public transport or a taxi in order to save money. What anecdotal evidence do the witnesses have in that regard?
