Rejected petition Have a low risk birth unit option available for the women of Plymouth

Rejected on 9 November 2017

Plymouth doesn't currently have a low risk birth unit unlike Exeter and Truro. There are massive benefits for everyone involved by providing this option for pregnant women. Let's petition parliament to get the funding to open one up locally.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This would be a decision for local NHS bodies, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
