Simon Harris: All parents who lose a baby to get support

Every parent who loses a baby will get the support they need, said the Minister for Health Simon Harris.

“To learn that your unborn child or newborn baby is unwell and is not going to grow to achieve all that you wish for, or is not going to survive, must be one of the most harrowing situations imaginable for any parent.

“The family’s aspirations and dreams for the child are taken away and replaced with grief and distress, at the very time when the family should be facing a future with joy, hope and happiness.
