Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 November 2025

Debate

NHS: Wheelchair Services

Contribution

My Lords, as well as the concerns raised by the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, about NHS wheelchair services, we know that, in addition, there are over 1 million wheelchair users of different types in the UK, and we know that people still face considerable difficulties in accessing health and social care buildings. Of course we understand that some buildings are old and will have to be retrofitted, but what specific conversations is the department having with charities, expert groups, owners of buildings and developers to raise awareness of the need and how to improve access, particularly for those older buildings?
