Portfolio Question Time
Stoma-friendly Toilets (National Health Service)
Mountain, Edward Con Highlands and Islands Watch on SPTV

I thank the minister for that, and I thank her for her work during this parliamentary session in helping me to achieve my aim. As a result of my campaign, I am pleased to report that NHS Highland has made good progress in making its accessible toilets stoma friendly. I am also pleased to report that the Parliament has made good progress, too.

Recently, I was pleased to secure a commitment from Morrisons to immediately make all its accessible toilets stoma friendly across the United Kingdom. All that it requires is a mirror, a hook, and a shelf. Marks and Spencer, Asda and Tesco have all agreed to review their policies, and Lidl has committed to making its store specification comply with Colostomy UK’s recommendations from the start of the next financial year.

I am pleased about the Government’s commitment, and I ask the minister to ensure that, if she is re-elected in the next session, she continues my drive on this issue.
