What the petition asks
My brother was born with an unknown CHD. My mum was unaware of any of this as no-one picked it up.
Now my brother has to have invasive surgeries all his life.
Many babies go home without knowing they are very I'll. I want to change that please sign this so more babies beat these horrible diseases

The NHS do not disclose that they are looking for CHD's in 5 month scan, nor do they spefically look after birth.
This I think needs to be changed midwives should carry guidelines for this and oximeters to potiantally save a baby.
Too many babies die from these illnesses.
I have seen this first hand.
