There are calls for more action on 'one of the most serious medical phenomena'

The issue of children dying unexpectedly and without any known cause has been debated in Parliament for the first time.

He said: "Imagine a death of a child, who has all his or her life in front of them, suddenly ended. If you can imagine that and if you can imagine that for one of your own children you can get a sense of how tragic and how difficult that occurrence is."Many of the MPs who attended paid tributes to their constituents who had contacted them about the unexplained deaths of their children.

He added: "It's such an uncomfortable issue but it is important to grasp uncomfortable issues to honour those who had died and prevent future deaths."Although the number of deaths is difficult to determine, it is estimated that about 40 children over the age of one die suddenly every year - more than young child deaths from traffic accidents, fires or drowning

They also called for the NHS website to be updated to include information about SUDC and for there to be more training for medical practitioners.
