Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Coping with Stillbirth Loss: Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Association
10:35 am
Ms Mairie Cregan:
We greatly support the perinatal hospice as this is a growing issue we have come across. This is something that has arisen in international research and we have seen it in our own research. We must educate ourselves more before we comment fully. It is very difficult to watch a child die and we hope that a hospice can be arranged in such circumstances. The job of a clinician is to save the lives of children and we are researching this area at the moment.
