Work has began today on the new Maternity Bereavement Suite (MBS) at Scunthorpe Hospital.
Andrew reports, "I understand the project will take approximately 10 weeks to complete. Once complete, the MBS will provide a safe-haven for those families who tragically lose their baby, along with being a place where the family can spend time together too.
"You may remember that I visited the maternity unit at Scunthorpe Hospital last year to welcome the £22,500 of funding that I, and my team, helped to secure for the project. This money was secured through an application we made to the SSE community fund, and contributed towards the project’s £150,000 goal. My Community Support Officer, Cllr Julie Read, did a fantastic job putting this application in on my behalf.
"Well done to the Health Tree Foundation and all of the amazing fundraisers, donors and staff who helped make this happen."
