Mapping a world for the disabled

Agreeing to spend 88,000 pound to sign her Trust up to a new online guide that will provide information on disabled access provision for some individual 300 healthcare sites throughout the county was "an extremely easy decision", NHS Suffolk chief executive Carole Taylor-Brown told a London audience recently. She was speaking at the London launch of DisabledGo - Health, a national online guide to disabled access at UK healthcare facilities that provides data on everything from the location of handrails and the degree of slope in corridors to the size of "disabled" parking spaces.
