Petition to allow Mama Packs into the UK’s NHS maternity hospitals!

Mama Packs are the United Kingdoms ONLY ethically influenced, trade marked Mum & Baby sample pack. A pack you wont find nasty chemicals in, a pack you will love receiving!

The NHS would like to have Mama Packs…. We know, as each time we call a maternity ward they jump at it. Then a few hours later ‘that’ phonecall comes…. “Sorry, we will have to decline as apparently Bounty are the only packs permitted to be distributed by the NHS”

Why?

  • Is it the 70p per pack Bounty give the NHS?
  • Is it the fantastic quality of Bounty samples compared to MP? *sarcasm*
  • Is it the fact Bounty have got the NHS into a contract they can’t back out of?
  • Is it the fact Mama Pack promote home births, breastfeeding and cloth nappies?

What happened to Monopoly / Monopsony laws?

Why are Bounty permitted to carry on this coercive monopoly?

SADLY this also means that no cloth nappies or alternative detergents are permitted into the ‘new Mama zone’ in hospitals as Bounty are contracted to only allow Pampers and Fairy!

Mama packs contain Soap nuts and cloth nappy info! [hopefully one day maybe even a free newborn cloth nappy]

Mama Packs also contain BIODEGRADABLE baby wipes… Another product denied to Mama’s in the current NHS permitted packs.

We don’t want to remove Bounty from their throne but what we do want is for Mothers & Mothers to be to have a choice…. an ethical choice!

This petition is a call to the powers that be behind the NHS to allow Mama Packs to be handed out in the NHS Maternity sector, be it via hospitals or GP surgeries….

GIVE WOMEN A CHOICE!

    Will sign. :-) Was a revelation for me after DC3 was born and I had my first ever hospital stay. Orange faced Bounty woman came breezing into my little cubicle demanding my details. When I said (very politely) I wasn’t interested thankyouverymuch, and she could have the pack back, you’d have thought I’d thrown up in her handbag, and she marched out with a cat’s bum face. Heard her talking to other mothers in the ward afterwards, who all blindly gave her their address details. She told *them* their babies were cute. Which serves me right, eh? :-P

    Well, it the photo’s they want to take on the ward that bother me! If you say no they act as though you have 2 heads, like the “id” card that comes with them is actually of any use?!
