Why is the stillbirth rate for black and Asian babies in the UK so high?
Stillbirth rates remain "exceptionally high" for black and Asian babies in the UK, a report examining baby loss in 2019 has found.
The figures come despite improving numbers overall, with some 610 fewer stillbirths in 2019 than in 2013.
