Petition Allow fathers to stay with poorly babies in hospitals

on 3rd August 2016 my 4 day old daughter was rushed to hospital because she wasn't breathing properly, once we were seen we were sent to a ward, where I (Father) was told I had to leave her and go home because the ward was for women.

More details

I was forced to leave my baby in the hospital because they ward staff would not allow me to stay with her. I believe men should be allowed to stay with their children regardless!
