What did you learn from your meeting with non-voter Russell Brand, Ed Miliband is asked.

"I'm glad you asked that question," he replies. "This is a really interesting debate isn't it. Seven million people aren't even registered to vote at this election - I think that's a shocking figure. Therefore I will do anything and engage with anyone to try to persuade people to vote." Cue a round of applause.

"The crucial thing seems to me, whatever people think of Russell Brand, is to engage with the people who are not engaged in this election," Mr Miliband adds.

Next the Woman's Hour debate turns on to immigration.

What we need is a more "compassionate" system, Caroline Lucas of the Greens says. Focusing on individuals rather than a mass of immigrants is the best way to do this, she argues.

Theresa May says there's a need for "control" in the immigration system, although she acknowledges that "overall" it's been good for Britain. She highlights her party's moves to restrict access to benefits for new arrivals who have been in the UK for less than four years.

Eilidh Whiteford says the "important contribution" being made by EU migrants shouldn't be ignored. From doctors to higher education students, she argues the UK gets a lot from immigration.

Diane James of UKIP says the UK has "penalised" individuals who want to come from growth economies like Australia and Canada. "What I find particularly bizarre", she says, is other parties' refusal to accept that the system can't cope when it knows "who's coming in, at what speed, where they're going to settle, what they're going to need in terms of serivces".

Sal Brinton says all the parties agree the immigration system has to be managed well. She underlines the importance of post-study visas for international students, saying graduates will contribute to the economy if they stay here.

Leanne Wood says "adequate planning" is needed to reduce concerns about immigration, but makes clear that she's not interested in getting seriously concerned about the issue. She thinks investment in housing, ending austerity and offering workers "strong union protection" can help, too.

Labour's Harriet Harman wraps up this section of the debate. She says 1,000 more border agency staff are needed and says people should contribute to the economy "before being taken out of it". Ms Harman adds: "We must not point the finger and demonise."

The SNP's Eilidh Whiteford says she's worried by the privatisation of the NHS, but plays up the better state of the health service north of the border. She says the SNP would give the NHS £9.5bn by 2020.

Diane James says listeners will be shaking their heads at some of the comments made so far because the NHS has been a "political football". She suggests the future "is one of yet more chaos" because "nobody has talked about cutting the management, the bureaucracy... that's where the money needs to go".

Sal Brinton says the bureaucracy-cutting has already take place. "It's nonsense to say that hasn't happened, it's begun to happen," the Lib Dem spokeswoman says. Her party's priorities include refocusing money on mental health.

Leanne Wood says the NHS was "born in Wales" and "has struggled in recent times". Threats in Wales include "Labour's centralisation programme" and spending cuts. "If we want to keep the NHS and ensure it has a future, we need to be prepared to pay for it."

Young Conservatives have been ramming home the party's message - that a minority Labour government could be held to ransom by the SNP - outside Labour's latest campaign event.

The masks might be convincing but the Nicola in the middle might have made more of an effort to mimic Ms Sturgeon's dress.

The biggest concern for women voters, according to a poll for Woman's Hour, is the NHS - 59% of women said they were worried about it, compared to 50% of men. So that's what's being debated now as the programme's election debate continues.

The situation of appointments for GPs is "quite dangerous and worrying", Harriet Harman says. And there's a problem with accident and emergency, too, that needs fixing. She claims Labour "has always been the party of the NHS" because the Tories have always been more interested in private-sector healthcare.

Caroline Lucas says the coalition's Health and Social Care Act featured "privatisation", but says it was the Labour government that "entrenched" many of the principles the Tories and Lib Dems would then reaffirm. The former Green leader says funding should be increased for mental health and says nurses deserve a 1% pay rise.

Theresa May says the coalition made clear from the start that the NHS would get more cash. The same applies in the next five years so that by 2020 it will be receiving the extra £8bn called for by NHS England's chief executive Simon Stevens, she adds. Rebutting Ms Harman's criticisms, she says:

Nigel Farage told the European Parliament the EU should adopt a similar policy to that used on the other side of the world to tackle the migrant crisis.

"Australia faced this and Australia not only has stopped the boats from coming - they have stopped people from drowning"

But Sophia in ‘t Veld, from the Liberal ALDE group, said the idea of a "flood of jihadists" had been "invented by Mr Farage to get himself elected on 7 May". She called it "populist and despicable".

Harriet Harman warns against "boasting" over unemployment, saying "a lot of people have been pushed out of the public sector" and that they've had to find limited private sector work too.

UKIP's Diane James says poor tax receipts because of a "stalling" economy would force a Tory government to backtrack on its promise about not raising taxes

The SNP's Eilidh Whiteford says it's "just not true to say disabled people haven't been hit by cuts" because eight out of 10 people affected by the bedroom tax are disabled.

Caroline Lucas, of the Greens, says it's all very well approving of "hard-working families", but there are some families that can't work for various reasons. We need to be more "compassionate", she says. The tax lock proposed by the Tories will, she fears, result in even more cuts elsewhere. And she attacks Labour's position, saying Ms Harman and co are offering cuts too. "There are alternatives to austerity," she says.
