The Ivy Trust charity is seeking improved support for individuals experiencing miscarriage. The charity wants earlier testing in Guernsey, a national miscarriage register, and better employment leave policies. This call for action follows a revelation by UK charity Tommy's that testing women after their first miscarriage, rather than their third, could prevent up to 10,000 pregnancy losses annually. Deputy Tina Bury, President of the Employment and Social Security Committee, stated that her committee regularly meets with Health and Social Care colleagues to discuss such matters as part of their mandate review.
