We're pleased to announce that Andy Burnham, MP for Leigh and Labour's shadow health secretary, will be joining us for a webchat on Wednesday at 1.45pm to talk about Labour's response to our Miscarriage Care campaign.

Andy has been MP for Leigh since 2001, and has been Labour's health shadow for four years after standing in the 2010 leadership election. In government, he worked in the Home Office and was Secretary of State for Health. He's also known for his work on the campaign to find out the truth about what happened at Hillsborough.

As you may know, we're asking Andy (along with the Conservative and LibDem health ministers) to include a commitment to better miscarriage care in the manifestos for the 2015 election. Do check out our campaign and our video - and please join us on Wednesday at 1.45pm. If you can't be there at the time, please post up your questions here in advance.

Thanks
MNHQ

@AndyBurnhamMP

This issue has been out-of-sight for too long. No-one supports the NHS more than me but I know that this is an area where it has fallen well short. We can do much better. That's why I support Mumsnet's campaign and can announce today that Labour will include a commitment to improving miscarriage care in our 2015 Manifesto.

Fabulous news. Thank you.

Thanks Madrigals.

Please keep up the tweeting, Facebooking and emailing - now that we have Labour's pledge we need to try to get the other parties to match it.

Suggested tweet (although of course feel free to do your own):
