A NEW, fully accessible public toilet has been opened at York Hospital for people with disabilities.
The Changing Places lavatories have more space than standard disabled facilities, and cost £60,000, with funding coming from the Friends of York Hospital and City of York Council.
Nicola Cowley, learning disabilities specialist nurse, said: “This is a really important addition to York Hospital and one that will greatly benefit our patients and visitors.
“Lots of people visit our hospital and the city of York with a range of conditions and disabilities who will use this Changing Places toilet and we are extremely happy to be one of the few places in York to provide this facility.”
The new facility is one of only five in the city.
