Hertfordshire’s NHS Trusts have signed up to a new website which gives information to the disabled about access and physical suitability of healthcare services.
By visiting www.disabledgo.com users can find for free a dentist with a step-free access or a GP with a hearing loop for example.
Justin Spencer, Assistant Director Estates and Facilities, West, East and North Hertfordshire PCT, the first to use the system, said: “This has enabled us to identify and inform members of the public regarding issues related to disabled access, allowing them to assess the accessibility of a building and make appropriate choices and arrangements in advance.
“Furthermore, the surveys undertaken provide invaluable information for the development of a programme of accessibility improvement works across our clinics and community hospitals.”
