Theo Launches Parliamentary Petition with Louise Thompson for Maternity Commissioner

As mothers affected by birth trauma, we believe the government should appoint a Maternity Commissioner to improve maternity care for mums and babies and help restore confidence in maternity services. This is why we are launching a petition.

A 2024 parliamentary birth trauma inquiry recommended a Maternity Commissioner be appointed alongside a National Maternity Strategy to ensure mums and their babies were safe and looked after with professionalism and compassion.

We need 10,000 signatures so please sign yourself or send to as many people as possible:
