Petition Action

Change NHS policy of one parent only at a child's medical appointment.

Petition Details

To debate this as a topic in Parliament and hopefully the government will implement a change in NHS policy.

Additional Information

Two parental insights to a child's health should be better than just one parent attending medical appointments.

When national lock down restrictions have been removed, why do majority of NHS trusts implement a one parent policy at a child's medical intervention?

Are NHS trusts aware that they are breaking up families with this policy when both parents are concerned for their child's wellbeing?
