As an educational psychologist, I spent many years working with families who had experienced trauma, including some who had lost children to SIDS. <br />Routine screening for potential problems will not be a priority for this government, as the NHS will be overstretched and private clinics will not undertake such research, as there is no money in it for them. If we can persuade our leadership to take up campaigns like this and pubilcise them, we could do much to improve our standing with the general public. Perhaps you could get it included in the next health debate in the Commons?<br />Best of luck.<br />Maureen Timmins South Debyshire, NW BranchMaureen Timminsnoreply@blogger.com
