Lauren Caulfield said she had been campaigning for years and described how she felt “much more hopeful” after Saturday’s “surreal” meeting.
“To see us finally reach this point, it’s just incredible and I feel empowered, finally,” she said.
“I feel like we’re able to make a difference, we’re able to make things better and that’s all we want, is to just make things better for the next family so their child doesn’t die, so their mother doesn’t die.”
Lauren’s daughter, Grace, was stillborn in 2022.
“Ultimately, she shouldn’t have died, we shouldn’t be in this position, but I promised her that people wouldn’t forget her, that her name would matter, and it’s the most beautiful thing as a mum to be able to be fulfilling that promise,” she added.
