Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-04556 by Maree Todd on 6 December 2021, whether it will provide an update on its scoping exercise, including the remit and timeline; on what dates the roundtables will take place, and who will be invited to participate in the roundtables and to inform the work to improve miscarriage care and support for women who experience complications during pregnancy.
Answer
The scoping exercise referred to in S6W-04556 will help the Scottish Government to establish current service provision for miscarriage care and support that is available to women who experience unexpected pregnancy complications across all 14 Health Boards and will issue shortly. The issue of the questionnaire has been delayed due to service pressures within the NHS because of the ongoing pandemic. The first roundtable is expected to take place in March 2022 and we plan to invite health professionals and baby loss charities as well as inviting bereaved parents to share their experiences.
