Rejected petition Improve the accessibility and quality of care for new parents and babies.

Reopen clinics to ensure babies’ development is correctly monitored.

More details

As a new mum, occasional health visitor phone calls and the lack of accessibility to GP appointments has increased my anxiety at an already difficult time. The only consistency across health care for new mums has been totally inadequate and it is frightening to think of the potential detrimental impacts this has had on new mums and babies across the country.
