Petition Action

To make it compulsory to make midwives check for CHD's in new baby home visits.

Petition Details

My brother was born with an unknown CHD. My mum was unaware of any of this as no-one picked it up.
Now my brother has to have invasive surgeries all his life.
Many babies go home without knowing they are very I'll. I want to change that please sign this so more babies beat these horrible diseases

Additional Information

The NHS do not disclose that they are looking for CHD's in 5 month scan, nor do they spefically look after birth.
This I think needs to be changed midwives should carry guidelines for this and oximeters to potiantally save a baby.
Too many babies die from these illnesses.
I have seen this first hand.
