Something is dreadfully wrong

When your supposedly developed country has one of the highest stillbirth rates in Europe.

The UK had about 4,100 stillbirths in 2009 and, with a rate of 3.5 per 1,000 births, (USA rates; 3 per 1000) was ranked 33rd in a list of 193 countries - down from 26th in 1995.

Stillbirth is the 5th highest cause of death in the world.

11 sets of UK parents every day will take home their newborn baby in a coffin

And George isn't even included in those UK statistics as he was born still before 24 weeks.

It's not good enough.
