Couples and families who have been bereaved through the loss of a baby or young child have been invited to attend a remembrance day ceremony planned for next year at University College Hospital Galway.

The event is being organised by nurses from the hospital's maternity unit and St Bernadette's Children Unit - formerly known as the pediatric unit.

They are hopeful that parents and families who have lost a baby or child either at the hospital or at home will attend the ceremony. Those wishing to take part, even if the death was many years ago, have been requested to write to: Ms Roisin O'Driscoll, Remembrance Day Secretary, 41b Woodfleld, Cappagh Road, Barna, Galway.
