Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans his Department has to expand the National Bereavement Care Pathway for pregnancy and baby loss to other forms of bereavement.

Thirty two healthcare settings, predominantly hospitals in England have piloted the National Bereavement Care Pathway over the past two years and have seen real changes for parents and professionals in their trusts. Following the outcome of independent evaluations, the Pathway is now being rolled out across the country and there are 43 pilot sites now live at National Health Service trusts.
