SNP MP opens up on baby daughter 'turning blue' while being treated in neonatal care unit
An SNP MP has spoken about how he will remember until his "dying day" watching his daughter turn blue in an incubator.
Linden insisted it would have “a massive impact on the families of those 90,000 to 100,000 babies who are every year born in the UK and spend time in neonatal care”.He told MPs both of his children were born premature and "the real worry that I was going through that time, actually in both cases for both of my children, my parental leave was well up by the time we got to hospital".
"The idea that we as legislators would expect our constituents to be at work when that happens or, worse, they will go and do a shift after that, it really is I think something that we are putting right today because that is a historic wrong."
