uin	HL1882
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2024 answer text <p>Following the death of a child, it may not always be a healthcare professional making the notification and therefore these questions may be answered by a range of different professionals, for instance those in healthcare, police, or social care. The questions will be answered based on what the professional knows at the time when they are making the notification of death. Therefore, if they do not hold any information on the gender identity of the child, this question will not be answered.</p><p>Parents would not be completing these forms. The purpose of the notification form is to give the basic information on what is known about the child by the professional at the time of death.</p> answering member printed Baroness Merron question first answered 28/10/2024 12:00:00 answering member 347 label Biography information for Baroness Merron
