Changing Places toilets are bigger disabled toilets with a hoist, a changing bed and more space around the toilet for someone who needs assistance.
The UK government wants to make these toilets mandatory in new large public buildings.
Fiona from Bolton who has muscular dystrophy and Lorna from North Lincolnshire tell the BBC's Ellis Palmer why such toilets are necessary for them to do the things many take for granted.
They're taking the piss, surely.
The problem with regard to disabled toilets was that there wasn't provision for them. I support them existing in town centres, supermarkets and shopping centres, as well as large pubs and restaurants. Not in places where it's impractical or cost prohibitive though. It wouldn't be practical for a micropub licensee for instance, seeing as the chair would take over a good percentage of the floor area.

For hospitals, they'll say yeah... just about. Nowhere else though. You won't get this in the local Spoons. They're pretending they are independent.
