Infant Mortality: Bereavement Counselling
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his department has made of the findings of the Held in Our Hearts Impact Report on hospital-to-home bereavement support for families following the loss of a baby.
Answered by Karin Smyth
We recognise the importance of supporting the transition from the hospital to home for bereaved families, so that support is always available when families need it most.
Held in Our Hearts is a Scottish Charity supporting Health Boards in Scotland, and healthcare in Scotland is the responsibility of the Scottish Government. The Department has not made an assessment of the findings of the Held in Our Hearts Impact Report.
