@AsdaServiceTeam No I need to know if has a changing places toilet. As there appears to be two accessible toilets. And I am sure that the door of one says changing places

[Access in MK @accessinmk]

@AsdaServiceTeam I would like to confirm if bletchley store has a changing places toilet. As I am sure it saying it had one

@bionicsarah @DeanAccessAble @secraney @MKHospital @AccessAbleUK Mk hospital have made improvements to the ramp outside outpatients which should make it easier to navigate as a wheelchair user. Not sure if you have noticed a difference. But yes is still quite a distance as the ramp into the carpark is difficult to get up in a wheelchair

Why do disabled households use so much energy? Why are disabled households dependent on so much energy? 👇

Energy for disabled adults & children is a lifesaver not a luxury.

Our equipment for survival depends on power.

@BLMK_CCG There should be opportunities like this for patients to help shape local services as the ones using them and want to see improvement in local health services especially for disabled people and people with chronic health conditions

[Access in MK @accessinmk]

It is positive to start to see some access improvements to @MKHospital, with the ramp to the main entrance now being made more wheelchair friendly by removing the camber. I found this so much easy to navigate. Hope for more improved access in future

[Access in MK @accessinmk]

Have a project in the works. And would like to know of the all local charities, community organisations, groups and services for disabled people. Please message or comment of any that you know

1st batch of 1000 red cord cards arrived. Now to just get them into disabled toilets and continue to raise awareness. Quite a few already set aside to go into the hospital

[Dan White : Disability Campaigner / Author / ♿️ @Danwhite1972]

The new social care proposals are unfair & will leave disabled people facing catastrophic care costs.
We can’t have working age, already poverty stricken disabled people in more debt.

@HLAdultCare @leedownes2 Yes been fighting social care since 2018. Eligible for and yet still can’t get the care I need. Can’t afford it. Local council missing of needs and denying what I need. Can’t get or find any PAs

[Access in MK @accessinmk]

@leedownes2 @GillianKeegan Wrote a letter but will do it again. Was the Leonard Cheshire campaign. Social care need to reform for the better. Especially the poor social care in MK

[Access in MK @accessinmk]

@AutismKeynes I corrected it again and when checked it last week it was still hanging free 👍

[Access in MK @accessinmk]

If you see a red cord in a disabled toilet. Please do not tie them or hang them out of the way. This is preventing a disabled person calling for help. This was in a local doctors surgery after a card has been placed #RedCordChallenge #RedCord #HangFree

[Access in MK @accessinmk]

@AutismKeynes Yes I put the sign on. And it was clear that someone had removed it and tried to put it back but upside down
