What the petition asks
Allowing both parents into their child medical appointments
I am having too go too my baby’s medical appointments alone without my partner/baby’s dad, parents need too support each other and baby at the same time
Allowing both parents in their child’s medical appointments are essential as both parents need the knowledge of their child’s needs
I understand with coronavirus but we come from the same household, together all the time.
Many thanks!

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Policies for who can accompany children to medical appointments are a matter for NHS England and individual NHS trusts, not the Government or House of Commons. You should contact your local NHS trust to find out what their policy is.
