Clare Lucas, Head of Policy and Campaigns for Muscular Dystrophy UK, which co-chairs the Changing Places Consortium, said:
“We welcome the government’s commitment to invest in fully accessible toilets in hospitals. Having access to a well-equipped toilet is a matter of respect and dignity for people who are severely disabled.
“Changing Places toilets give people more confidence and independence because they no longer have to worry about what will happen if they are caught short. We encourage all NHS Trusts to help break down barriers faced by disabled people and apply for the funding.”
