Baby's parents demand rickets death hospital inquiry

Rohan Wray, 22, and Chana Al-Alas, 19, of London, were accused of abusing baby Jayden but his fractures were later found to have been caused by rickets. They told the BBC that the Great Ormond Street and University College hospitals should have diagnosed the disease. The hospitals have defended their care of Jayden before his death in 2009. Mrs Justice Theis concluded that more research was needed on the impact of vitamin D deficiency and rickets on babies aged under six months. The couple's daughter, who has been in the care of Islington since her birth in October 2010, has now been returned to them.
