Johann Lamont: Down’s Syndrome Awareness Week—That the Parliament
recognises the importance of Down’s Syndrome Awareness Week, from 19 to 25 March 2018, in
highlighting the contribution made by, and issues affecting, people with Down’s syndrome;
understands that Down’s Syndrome Scotland is set to host a fundraising concert in Glasgow to
launch the week; further understands that a number of young people with the condition are set to
be commissioners and hosts for the forthcoming World Down Syndrome Congress, which is to be 
held in Glasgow in July 2018 where 1,200 delegates will visit the city, and wishes all involved the
best for Down’s Syndrome Awareness Week.
