A County Londonderry teacher says she is struggling to look after her severely disabled daughter in her own home following surgery to her arm. Tracey Henry says two carers are required 24 hours a day to help feed, bath and move 15 year old Ellie while her arm is in plaster but Social Services aren't putting in the level of support that is necessary while she recuperates. Our reporter, Nicola Weir, went to visit Tracey and Ellie in Coleraine.
