This question was answered on 16th November 2020
An assessment has not yet been made of the reasons for reported increases in the number of still births since April 2020.
A national review has been launched by the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB) to look at the reported increase in the number of still births. It is important that we wait for the full data from HSIB and other reviews of stillbirth cases during this time to draw any conclusions.
