The motion

That this House notes that over 500 miscarriages occur daily in the UK and that many women have to resort to using makeshift materials to collect baby loss remains; further notes the recommendations of the 2023 Pregnancy Loss Review that the NHS should develop and deliver a Compassionate Clinical Care Kit including a receptacle and a container in which to collect and store the baby’s remains; applauds Laura Corcoran and the Dignity Care Network for developing the Miscarriage Collection Cradle and Storage Container for safe and respectful collection and storage of baby loss remains; and urges the Government to implement the recommendations of the 2023 Pregnancy Loss Review including providing a baby loss kit via the NHS when a miscarriage is expected or likely to take place in a home or clinical setting.
