Patients and residents have had their say, and the new Maternity Bereavement Suite at Lynnâs Queen Elizabeth Hospital will be known as The Butterfly Suite.
The QEH wants to say thank you to the 2,598 people who voted to name the facility, which will provide a dedicated space for bereaved parents.
The quiet and private space will enable parents going through this unimaginable time to create precious memories with their baby, in a safe and comfortable environment separate from the clinical setting.
