Extend Coroner jurisdiction to examine unexpected Stillbirth in Labour\Delivery
There are over 3600 Stillbirths each yr in the UK, with 6-in-10 of these deaths being considered potentially avoidable.
We ask;
- All unexpected Stillbirths during Labour\Delivery are independently reviewed by a Coroner for Inquest
- Local Trusts share Stillbirth statistics with Coroners Office
'Clara's Law' Campaign has been started following the Inquest of Clara Tully Hardman who was initially classed as Stillborn. During the Inquest several practice, procedural & training issues were identified across various NHS services which prompted changes to limit risk of re-occurrence, thus preventing further tragedies occurring.
Recommendations have been made in the Morecambe Bay Kirkup Report, by Coroners, Pathologists and by Dr Alan Fletcher which recommend reviewing current legislation.
