Rejected petition Improving Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) care in hospitals and GP practices throughout the UK

More details

We, the undersigned, ask the Department of Health to ensure that: EVERY woman is routinely given accurate information about HG during antenatal care; every woman is offered medication in pregnancy. HG is a pregnancy condition which often goes undiagnosed and untreated.

Treatment for pregnant women would reduce abortions and repeated hospital admissions for moderate to severe cases.

30% of all hospital admissions under 20 weeks are for HG yet actual diagnosis figures do not reflect this.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Neither the Department of Health nor the Government are responsible for the care given to individual patients, which is a matter for trained clinicians.

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