Baby Box (NHS Branded)
To call on all local authorities to implement the NHS branded BabyBox project pilot informed by the Finnish model which contains towels, diapers, bodysuits, a sleeping bag, outdoor gear, bathing products for the baby, nappies, bedding and a small mattress, and other personal care products.
Mortality rates are split across socioeconomic lines, with the lowest mortality in the least deprived areas and among parents in professional or managerial roles. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) called the rise “extremely concerning”. Infants are more than twice as likely to die in England and Wales if they are born into a poor family and the gap is widening”.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take an action, rather than local authorities or other organisations.
We could accept a petition calling for the Government to fund or roll-out a England-wide Baby Box scheme, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
