I'd like to say a huge thank you to my colleagues from all sides of the UK House of Commons and House of Lords for their support for the #DownSyndromeBill. The cross party effort has been crucial to the Bill passing both Houses of UK Parliament. National Down Syndrome Policy Group #DownSyndrome

Wonderful to meet many amazing people with Downโ€™s National Down Syndrome Policy Group today. Downโ€™s is not a barrier to potential, which is why I was proud to support Sir Liam Foxโ€™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.

Really detailed meeting with minister Maria Caulfield CBE and our Advisory Group. A very open discussion with significant commitments made by the minister who has taken away all the issues raised today for further work.

Glad to raise diagnostic overshadowing with minister Maria Caulfield CBE today 10DowningStreet 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.
