What the petition asks
Group B strep is very common in pregnant women and can spread to the baby and make them ill, with potentially fatal consequences. We want the Government to provide funding so that all pregnant women can be offered regular screening for Group B strep.
Too many babies become ill because of Group B Strep, and we believe screening could help prevent the tragic consequences this can have.
