SN children

to think being able to use a suitable toilet should be something you would take for granted in a new hospital

You'd think something like that would be fairly basic in a hospital!

I mean having toilet aids should be a basic requirement - not that the toilets should be basic.

I agree it is utterly ridiculous and frustrating, so here is something to cheer you up a bit. It's only one toilet so far but it's a start, and at least Riven can come and visit Brighton for a stroll along the seafront with dd.
