End unfair, unsafe gaps: no automatic discharge; ensure named neuro disability leads & joined up lifelong care based on need, not diagnosis name.","additional_details":"Edwards / Trisomy 18 — including mosaic — is lifelong, complex & multi system, but no legal duty like Down’s Syndrome Act 2022. Often wrongly called “short term”, leading to unsafe early discharge from therapies & paediatrics, no named neurodisability lead & preventable harm. Support should follow need, not diagnosis prevalence. Equal law = equal safe, joined up care.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":21,"closing_date":"2027-02-05","created_at":"2026-07-07T11:03:54.607Z","updated_at":"2026-08-05T11:38:30.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-08-05T10:46:12.298Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-07-07T11:30:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Lorrie swithinbank","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DHSC","name":"Department of Health and Social Care","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-of-health-and-social-care"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":21}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Ashford","ons_code":"E14001069","mp":"Sojan Joseph MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Blackley and Middleton South","ons_code":"E14001103","mp":"Graham Stringer MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Christchurch","ons_code":"E14001171","mp":"Sir Christopher Chope MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Gorton and Denton","ons_code":"E14001251","mp":"Hannah Spencer MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Manchester Central","ons_code":"E14001352","mp":"Rt Hon Lucy Powell MP","signature_count":7},{"name":"Oldham East and Saddleworth","ons_code":"E14001415","mp":"Debbie Abrahams MP","signature_count":6},{"name":"Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton","ons_code":"E14001416","mp":"Jim McMahon MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":18},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":1},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":2}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
