UK government expands baby loss certificate scheme to include losses before 24 weeks, regardless of when they occurred.

The UK government has expanded its baby loss certificate scheme, now allowing parents to apply for recognition of losses before 24 weeks of pregnancy, regardless of when the loss occurred. Previously limited to those who lost babies since September 2018, the scheme now includes losses dating back to before October 1992 for certain cases. This initiative aims to formally acknowledge the grief of parents and has issued over 50,000 certificates since its launch.
