Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will hold discussions about providing access for people in wheelchairs to national health service buildings which they need to enter.

Mr. Yeo

Health authorities should ensure compliance with the patients charter standard that buildings can be used by people in wheelchairs. The Department has issued guidance to health authorities on the design of premises to take account of the special needs of physically disabled people.
