A new chapter for The Lullaby Trust
We’re entering a new chapter as our current chair of the board of trustees, Stephanie Henderson-Begg steps down as chair, handing over to George Williams.
Families are waiting too long for answers due to paediatric pathology shortages
The Royal College of Pathologists’ recent report reveals an alarming crisis across paediatric and perinatal pathology services in the UK. These services are essential for determining why a baby or child has died, and offering grieving families answers they deserve, quickly.
The report revealed that:
The report reflects what we’ve been hearing from bereaved families. We’re deeply concerned about the impact that this crisis is having on families. Every family deserves answers about their baby or child’s death in a timely manner.
As a member of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Baby Loss, The Lullaby Trust, and other charities, will keep working to ensure this issue remains firmly on the political agenda. We’ll be calling for urgent investment to rebuild the paediatric and perinatal pathology workforce, and a commitment to reduce the time families are waiting for post-mortem reports.
