Thank you all for your support, big thanks to Bobby Dean MP 🔶 National Down Syndrome Policy Group


Great response from a letter by a member of the National Down Syndrome Policy Group Advisory group East Lancashire DS Thanks Andy MacNae MP for listening.

Disappointing that the #DownSyndromeAct guidance is yet further delayed, but this provides an additional opportunity for the Department of Health and Social Care to listen to ongoing concerns about the content & work productively with stakeholders to create robust & meaningful guidance, now long overdue.

Looks like it was a very productive meeting. Good to see florence garrett from the National Down Syndrome Policy Group Advisory Group sharing ICB information.

Another successful meeting, looking forward to the public consultation and hopefully a powerful and useful #DownSyndromeAct Stephen Kinnock APPG for Down Syndrome
