Fund regular screening of pregnant women for Group B strep

Petition Details

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.

Additional Information

Too many babies become ill because of Group B Strep, and we believe screening could help prevent the tragic consequences this can have.
