Get Dedicated Babyloss Facilities into Maternity Hospitals. No More Labour Ward!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would Like the Government to Create Babyloss Facilities away from The Labour Ward/ Maternity Unit. To date women have to deliver their sleeping babies in the labour ward, This is a ward that is dedicated to Live babies! This treatment is absolutely inhumane, Barbaric and Traumatizing for Women.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is a decision for individual trusts and hospitals. We could accept a petition calling for the Government to increase NHS funding to enable hospitals to take this action.
