Rejected petition When baby is delivered, even if very premature, should be issued

The mother must be given all assistance to accept the loss

More details

This was prompted by a story line in Coronation Street, but it brings into question the imposition of procedures over tenderness
It is surely easier to issue a birth and death certificate in such cases than for the already burdened mental health services to try and heal the damage later
