Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 June 2015
399. Deputy Sandra McLellan asked the Minister for Health if he will provide an update on a national baby loss awareness day as a day of remembrance for bereaved families, as discussed by Féileacháin at an Oireachtas health committee meeting in October 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerMany people are affected by infant loss and a remembrance day as suggested would be a poignant reminder. However, it is my understanding that remembrance days such as that proposed by Féileacháin, are often organised by the bodies themselves.
My Department, therefore, unfortunately would not be in a position to proceed with the proposal of organising such an event.
