Thank you Minister @SKinnock @DHSCgovuk for working with the @APPGDS & @NDSPolicyGroup to ensure the #DownSyndromeAct guidance is meaningful, robust & will improve outcomes for all. Reassuring timelines are confirmed for public consultation. @DamianHinds @garrettflo #AndrewCooper

[Lord (David) Alton @DavidAltonHL]

Ahead of 3rd Reading of the Assisted Dying Bill MPs should read concerns raised by those working with individuals with Down syndrome & learning disabilities. I too believe the bill remains flawed & I join in urging Parliament to fulfil its duty to safeguard the vulnerable.

[DSRF_UK @DSRF_UK]

A young woman with #Downsyndrome was nearly denied treatment. A #capacityassessment was recorded at 3am—while she & her mum were asleep.

This is Jen’s story. It’s why we must oppose #AssistedDyingBill

Like many disability groups & medical bodies incl. @RCPhysicians & @rcpsych, we believe the #AssistedDyingBill is deeply flawed. 60+ orgs have signed an open letter warning of risks to the most vulnerable. Before Friday’s Third Reading urge your MP to act #AssistedDyingBill

@JayneKirkham4 @BenMaguireNC @Perran4CRH @annagelderd please pause and consider safeguards for those with learning disabilities. Even the slightest doubt.

[National Down Syndrome Policy Group @NDSPolicyGroup]

If MPs have even the slightest doubt about the adequacy of effective and enforceable safeguards, they have a legal and moral duty to protect the vulnerable - and must vote no to the #AssistedDyingBill on Friday. #NotThisBill @tommyjessop

@NDSPolicyGroup @DamianHinds @GoAndrCoop @dontscreenusout @LynnAMurray @Angie_Emro @downscheshire @PortsmouthDSA @upsofdowns21 @SharonGenua @Project21uk @BrentfordPFC @alice0sborne Fantastic to see people with a huge range of ability from across the UK having the opportunity to advocate for themselves. So important that people with DS are at the very heart of decision making that impacts them. Max had a blast! Big thanks @DamianHinds for hosting!

@ChurchfieldJE But first they are travelling to London for the @NDSPolicyGroup Summit to see @LiamFox and deliver a workshop on how to write to your MP to other adults with #DownSyndrome

[Angie Emrys-Jones @Angie_Emro]

@ChurchfieldJE Ahhh Dr J Langdon-Down, quite the unique individual.
Our Advisory Group just did some work on the history of DS and are going to show their work to @JayneKirkham4 in April as it happens.

[National Down Syndrome Policy Group @NDSPolicyGroup]

A law that treats us differently because of our characteristics doesn’t meet 2024 standards. Yet we have a law that does just that after 24 weeks of pregnancy where abortion can still be offered up to birth if Down syndrome is confirmed.
