A total of 60 fetuses with Down syndrome were aborted in 2024 — almost double the number of the 33 such abortions in 2021.

The increase also represents a 15% rise over the 52 abortions of Down syndrome-affected unborn babies in 2023, according to statistics released by Public Health Scotland

It really means nothing without the total amounts of tests done.
