The South-Eastern Trust has apologised after one of its care assistants admitted to abusing a 70-year-old woman with Alzheimer's Disease.

The family of Ivy McCluskey, who were worried about her dwindling weight, secretly recorded Patricia Young eating food meant for her patient.

The secretly recorded footage has been obtained by BBC Radio Ulster's Stephen Nolan Show.
