Two moving testimonies from Eddie McConnell, Chief Executive of Downs Syndrome Scotland and Stephanie Fraser, Chief Executive of Cerebral Palsy Scotland.
Well, what an interesting testimony from Stephanie Fraser who was so clearly a sceptic from the start. From listening to these testimonies it seems that we were far from isolated in questioning government policy, just made to feel like we were on our own. The questions however which will never be answered are why the government never reacted to the many concerns raised by these organisations and why were so many others silenced and censored when they raised serious concerns. The trajectory could so easily have been changed but clearly there was no will to do so.
