Allow Student Midwives who have trained elsewhere in the UK to work in Wales!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow midwives who haven’t trained in Wales to work in welsh hospitals and have equal opportunities to jobs.

We are student midwives who’ve been studying away from home in England. We are due to qualify in September and have been informed we will not be granted equal opportunity to midwife jobs as we have trained in England. We have lived in Wales all our lives and an opportunity arouse in England 3 years ago which we immediately took as we wanted to follow our dreams to become a midwife. This is discrimination due to not training in wales and we believe we deserve an equal opportunity!

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Decisions about recruitment of midwives in Wales is a matter for NHS Wales, and the Welsh Government is responsible for most policy regarding healthcare in Wales, not the UK Government or House of Commons.
