BABY loss certificates are going to be made available in Wales, it has been confirmed.

- RUTH MOSALSKI

Since 2024, in England, parents have been able to request a certificate in memory of their baby if a pregnancy ends before 24 weeks.

It is a way of offering parents a way to commemorate their baby.

Until now, though, baby loss certificates have only been available in England.

However, Welsh Government minister Sarah Murphy has confirmed they will now be made available in Wales.

Claire Hughes, MP for Bangor Aberconwy, has campaigned on the issue. She says she is “really pleased” that the decision has been taken.
