'Cut-off' date for baby loss certificates removed

Manx Care confirms it'll follow UK's framework when scheme launches in November

The cut-off date for baby loss certificates on the Isle of Man has been dropped.

Manx Care announced last month (September) that anyone who'd lost a baby before 24 weeks since 2018 would be able to apply for an official certificate acknowledging the loss.

It says it planned to implement that cut-off date to align it with the UK's framework.

However, the UK government announced it was removing the cut-off date earlier this month, and Manx Care's confirmed it will do the same when the scheme is launched in November.
