Rejected petition Save the SCBU unit at Withybush Hospital

More details

Stop the planned closure of the Special Care Baby Unit at Withybush Hospital Pembrokeshire.

The unit has saved many babies lives over the years and the plans to transfer the service to West Wales General Hospital some 30 miles away will be disastrous.
Not only will babies lives be at risk,strain will also be placed on emergency ambulances transporting patients.

These plans are purely to save money, at what price is a babies life?

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

The provision of health services in Wales has been devolved to the Welsh Government and hence the Secretary of State for Wales is unable to intervene.

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