Baby Loss Awareness UK Week

This is Baby Loss Awareness UK Week, where we remember all the babies we have lost. The week culminates in International Pregnant and Infant Loss Remembrance Day on 15th October.

I led for the Scottish National Party (SNP) on this debate since this is an issue of particular importance to me.

The theme of this year’s remembrance is Access to Mental Health Support – all mums, dads, siblings and other family members have the mental health support they need when a baby they had expected to welcome into their family, is lost.

I set out in my speech why this support is so important for families who are grieving for a lost baby.
