Hello
Hopefully most of you will know about Mumsnet's Bounty Mutiny campaign, which asks for commercial sales reps to be kept off hospital maternity wards.
We just wanted to let you know that a meeting has been arranged between Justine and Dr Daniel Poulter, Conservative MP and minister for the relevant part of the Department of Health.
Dr Poulter has expressed concern about this issue in the past, saying in a letter to NHS Trusts,
"I am asking you to review your practices for allowing representatives from private companies on maternity wards to assure yourselves that you are maintaining women’s dignity and respect shortly after the birth of a baby when they can be tired and vulnerable."
So we're looking forward to discussing the campaign with him and seeing what he has to say. We'll update you here to let you know how it went.
