Cot Death Awareness Week
EDM number 631 in 2000-01, proposed by David Stewart on 02/05/2001.
That this House welcomes National Cot Death Awareness Week, 7th to 13th May, and acknowledges the work of the Foundation for the Study of Infant Death and the Scottish Cot Death Trust; notes that cot death remains the biggest single cause of death in children, often in the first week of life and that on average almost eight babies die every week in the UK; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to work with the FSID and the SCDT to fund research, support families whose babies have died suddenly and raise parents' awareness of the risks of cot death.
This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
