Baroness Finlay of Llandaff (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 December 2024

Debate

Older People’s Housing Taskforce

Contribution

My Lords, what levers do the Government plan to have to ensure that the recommendations in the report, such as accessible bathrooms and toilets, with doors to bathrooms that open outwards, are actually built into all new plans because of a high incidence of falls in the home? These affect not only morbidity but mortality rates. Similarly, how will they ensure that stairs are properly designed, as we previously debated, to decrease the number of falls of old people on stairs?
