The government has confirmed there will be more bereavement centres in maternity units to help parents who've given birth to a stillborn child. Adrian Goldberg received calls from two parents who had both suffered losses. Stuart in Edinburgh begins the clip speaking about his experience. This decision comes after Conservative MP Antoinette Sandbach shared her story in parliament of her five day old baby who died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Her voice features at the end of the clip. The Department of Health said "many maternity units already have specialist bereavement midwives and suites, but we want to do more to support parents and that's why we have committed to look at how we can improve bereavement services across the country". This clip is originally from Adrian Goldberg on Saturday 7 November 2015.
