In Health Care Paradise, Scurvy Becoming A Problem

Figures show that in 2004/05, 61 children were admitted to hospital with scurvy in England. But in 2007/08, the figure had risen to 94, a rise of more than 50 per cent in the last three years.

Damn, how hard is it to drink a little orange juice? Or take a daily vitamin, which the article indicates can be had for free to needy families?
