Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood
Asked by: Lord Ravensdale (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary) Wednesday 1st April 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to include sudden unexplained death in childhood on the NHS website to enable parents and professionals to find information. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government recognises the devastating impact of sudden unexplained death in childhood (SUDC) on affected families and communities. As the Minister for Public Health and Prevention (Sharon Hodgson MP) set out during a recent Westminster Hall Debate on this issue on 24 March 2026, the Government’s is committed to strengthening pathology services, ensuring high-quality bereavement support and growing the evidence base around SUDC.
Parents who have lost a child to SUDC should be able to access the advice and support that they need. Bereavement support is available on the NHS help page and GOV.UK website in an online-only format.
NHS Bereavement support is commissioned locally, allowing services to be shaped around the needs of local communities. For anyone seeking help after a bereavement, we encourage them to speak to their general practitioner, who can advise on and refer into local bereavement support services. My officials are exploring opportunities to include signposting on the NHS website to SUDC UK to ensure families have access to information when they need it most. |

Pathology: Vacancies
Asked by: Lord Ravensdale (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary) Wednesday 8th April 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to implement the recommendations of the report by the Royal College of Pathologists, Paediatric and perinatal pathology workforce report 2025, published in November 2025. Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The paediatric and perinatal pathology workforce report highlights the extent of the workforce crisis in paediatric and perinatal pathology and the impact this can have on turnaround times and families.
