HOSPITAL doctors are treating record numbers of malnourished patients with more than one case every hour.
The latest figures reveal that in the 12 years of Tory rule admissions in England for this condition have almost trebled.
Labour blames the Government for rising food poverty, claiming millions are being pushed below the breadline.
The Food Foundation charity reported last month that four million children were living in homes without adequate access to food.
NHS data revealed in 2021/22 some 10,724 patients were so malnourished they needed hospital care - an increase from 3,773 in 2009/10.
