Historical Stillbirth Burials and Cremations

Mark Tami Excerpts

Thursday 6th February 2020 Commons Chamber

[Mark Tami (Alyn and Deeside) (Lab)]

We all agree that the woman, and indeed the whole family, should receive that psychological support if they need it, but just saying it does not mean that this help is getting to the people it should be reaching. In many cases, people find it almost impossible to get that support.

[Justin Madders]

I thank my right hon. Friend for his intervention, as he raises the very point: the support is not consistent across the piece. We rightly raise that issue when we discuss these matters, because we need better support, better funding and better delivery of these specialist services. As he says, this is a difficult issue and support is needed at the right time.
