Baby Loss Awareness Week

Proceeding contribution from Jim Cunningham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 October 2019. It occurred during Debate on Baby Loss Awareness Week.

I identify with everything the Minister has said so far. One point about these debates for members of the public who have not experienced baby loss, and for some Members here, is what we learn about the heartbreak and, in some instances, the lack of support. In general terms, it has been very good to have these debates—even if we do have them annually—because they educate the public about an issue that has too often been shoved under the carpet, for want of a better term. It is better that people now understand what other people go through in life, so I do appreciate the Minister’s opening remarks.
