Today Mumsnet launched their 'Better Miscarriage Care' campaign. Mumsnet are asking politicians to pledge to improve miscarriage care, based on the principles in the Code, by 2020 - the end of the next parliament. Mumsnet have made the following suggestions about how you can get involved in the campaign:
"Please ask the three politicians who can make this happen Jeremy Hunt (@Jeremy_Hunt), Andy Burnham (@andyburnhammp) and Norman Lamb (@normanlamb) - for their support by tweeting them and asking them to support #bettermiscarriage care.
Health trusts can make changes to the way they treat their own patients, and some trusts already provide brilliant care, but the only way to ensure good care for all is if the politicians at the top take personal responsibility to improve the care women receive.
Don't use Twitter? Please send an email to the politicians who can make this happen:
- Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt - mb-sofs@dh.gsi.gov.uk
- Labour Shadow Health Spokesman Andy Burnham - andy.burnham.mp@parliament.uk
- LibDem Health Minister Norman Lamb - mscs@dh.gsi.gov.uk
We need to ask them to include a promise in their next manifesto to make miscarriage care better. Accounts of personal experiences are particularly effective for explaining why we need their support, but we've included some suggested text below to start you off.
Dear xxxx,
I know you'll be concerned about the care received by women who miscarry so please let me know you're backing Mumsnet's campaign for better miscarriage care. I'm asking you to include a manifesto commitment to improve miscarriage care for all women by 2020."
