Wonderful to meet many amazing people with Down’s @NDSPolicyGroup today. Down’s is not a barrier to potential, which is why I was proud to support @LiamFox’s Down Syndrome Act last year and why our reforms to SEND provision for children matter so much. #WorldDownSyndromeDay2023

Proud to be in the top three Twitter accounts most mentioned by MPs in the last 24 hours. With your support we have raised the profile of people with #DownSyndrome to a new height. It is inspiring to see our Advisory Group members speak for themselves at the highest level.

It was fantastic to mark #WorldDownSyndromeDay yesterday with @NDSPolicyGroup, celebrating the achievements of people with Down Syndrome and hearing more about how the landmark #DownSyndromeAct is changing lives. Really inspiring! #WDSD2023

We are so proud of our Advisory Group members who have worked so hard to raise the voice of those with Down syndrome at the heart of government. Our work is only going to grow and their voices will become louder.

Glad to raise diagnostic overshadowing with minister @mariacaulfield today @UKDowningStreet and need for a designated consultant in every hospital to see every patient with a learning disability to make sure nothing is overlooked in assessing symptoms and other issues.

The #DownSyndromeBill received Royal Assent in @UKParliament today. A huge thank you to everyone involved and all those who have supported. 👇 #DownSyndrome @HouseofCommons @UKHouseofLords @NDSPolicyGroup

That’s our friends Tom Fit and Nicola. Legends! #DownSyndromeBill @PositiveaboutDS
MPs in England will hear a bill later aiming to help people with Down Syndrome get better access to public services.
