Reduce the rate of infant mortality in the Traveller community

Acknowledge and take action to reduce the rate of infant mortality in the Traveller community.

Why is this important?

The rate of infant mortality in the Traveller community is 3 times higher than the settled population. For a first world country, there should not be such a large gap in these rates between a minority group and the rest of the population. The government has known about this issue for more than 13 years and yet has not done anything in order to reduce the rate. Please sign this petition so that we can bring around change.
