Stephen Williams Stands Up for Tiny Lives Campaign.

February 5, 2009 12:00 AM

Stephen Williams MP is backing national charity Action Medical Research as it steps up its campaign for urgent government action to tackle premature birth.

Twenty five UK babies die each week due to complications arising from premature birth, yet little is known about why early labour happens; or how to prevent it.

Stephen Williams MP is supporting the charity's STAND UP for Tiny Lives Campaign, and said "I was very sorry to hear personal accounts of families in my constituency, and elsewhere, who have had to deal with the loss of the baby due to premature birth.

"I endorse this charter, and have further written to the Secretary of State for Health to raise my concerns and ask the Government to take more action in this area."

Bristolians can also back Action Medical Research's call for a Premature Birth Inquiry by visiting the www.standupfortinylives.org

It is hoped that an inquiry will lead to the development of the first national research strategy for tackling premature birth.

    If you are a resident of the Bristol West constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
