Review medical care and treatment for babies with failure to thrive

Closed 343 signatures

What the petition asks

My son Aiden was born with a heart condition that went undiagnosed for over four years. Despite being diagnosed with failure to thrive, his organs were not checked. I want to the Government to review medical care and treatment for babies with failure to thrive, to give them the best chance possible.
By reviewing how children with failure to thrive are cared for, the Government can help improve care in the future, and potentially save the lives of children who might otherwise pass away.
