How much money is a child's life worth? Forty thousand pounds according to the Western Trust. Nine-year-old Raychel Ferguson died in Altnagelvin hospital after she was given a lethal dose of intravenous fluid. She'd been admitted to have her appendix removed in 2001. Her death was investigated as part of the Hyponatraemia Inquiry. Rachel’s mum asks - "Who gives them the right to say my daughter's life was only worth £40K?"
