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!
