More recently, some of these voices were captured by STV's documentary called 'Who Cares'. As part of the filming, STV arranged for four care-experienced family members and staff members from Who Cares Scotland to be filmed with the First Minister, who was affected by those she heard from and their stories. She has also committed to start listening to the 1,000 voices.
