Scottish Government: Hold a public inquiry into the handling of babies' ashes at Mortonhall.

The Issue

Over a thousand babies' ashes have been withheld from parents and families and buried without notification or permission. The effect this has had on the families concerned is immeasurable. We need a full and public investigation into how this happened, how it continued for so long and how we can be sure that it will never happen again. The handling of these babies' ashes has added insult to the already unimaginable injury of losing a child. Please sign so these families can get some answers.
