No charges due in two hospital child-death cases

Prosecutors in the North have decided not to press charges against any hospital staff over the deaths of two children a number of years ago.

Four-year-old Adam Strain and 17-month-old Lucy Crawford allegedly died from sodium shortages after being given the wrong fluids at hospitals in Belfast and Enniskillen.

The death of a third child in similar circumstances is still being investigated by the police.

Nine-year-old Raychel Ferguson died just days after having her appendix removed at Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry in 2001.
