A new research has claimed that those parents whose new born babies are either stillborn or die in a while after the delivery suffer humiliation and discrimination at the NHS.
The report said that merely 50% of the hospitals provide isolated rooms for such parents to stay away from the sounds and vision of women delivering healthy babies.
In addition, the study, conducted by charity Sands, claimed that around 52% of the wings lacked in the number of sincere midwives who are expert in consoling the heartbroken parents, in spite of the huge number of families witnessing such pains every year.
More than 56% of the NHS trusts examined still utilize collective graves for babies while merely 35% used grave covers with a locking facility.
The researchers suggested that the hospitals nationwide can manage the burials, which will allow them to place more than one baby in one grave.
The lack of locking facilities in grave covers can prove to be harmful for the baby's body.
"Lockable grave covers should always be used on a shared grave until it is full and the ground can be reconstituted", the study said.
The charity foundation presented the report on the basis of a survey conducted on more than 77 trusts in the UK.
