Thank you Minister Stephen Kinnock Department of Health and Social Care for working with the APPG for Down Syndrome & National Down Syndrome Policy Group to ensure the #DownSyndromeAct guidance is meaningful, robust & will improve outcomes for all. Reassuring timelines are confirmed for public consultation. Damian Hinds florence garrett #AndrewCooper

Like many disability groups & medical bodies incl. Royal College of Physicians & Royal College of Psychiatrists, 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

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.

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 Read the full blog: dsrf-uk.org/jensstory/ #AssistedDying #DisabilityRights
