Baby Loss Awareness Week

Proceeding contribution from Paul Girvan (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 October 2019. It occurred during Debate on Baby Loss Awareness Week.

On the number of people who have had difficulties, the problem we have perhaps relates to the level of focus on care, aftercare and counselling. I am not saying this is inevitable and will always be the case, but we do not have the necessary focus on counselling for the individuals and families who have gone through this traumatic experience. Unfortunately the fear of what they have been through sometimes means that they do not want to have another child and go through this again, so they are denied the opportunity to have a family because of what they have experienced; a lack of counselling means that that can sometimes be a fear.
