John Baron MP supports ‘Sands’ call for urgent action to prevent babies’ deaths

John Baron MP attended a Parliamentary reception in the House of Commons, organised by Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, for the launch of their new report, Preventing Babies’ Death: what needs to be done. 6,500 babies are stillborn or die shortly after birth every year in the UK. The charity’s report proposes that 1,200 babies’ lives could be saved every year through a combination of more research, better care and greater awareness of the risks of stillbirth and newborn baby death. At the reception John met with Mrs Igglesden [a bereaved parent] to discuss the need for action [photograph attached]. John will be pressing the Government on this issue.
