Public toilet provision for people with stoma

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

This Westminster Hall debate examines public toilet access for people with stomas—individuals who have undergone surgery creating an opening in the abdomen for waste management. The discussion will focus on whether current provision of suitable facilities across the UK is adequate, and what steps the government should take to improve availability and accessibility of toilets that meet the practical and dignity needs of this group.

Around 120,000 people in the UK live with a stoma. Poor public toilet provision forces many to restrict their movements, avoid public spaces, or face anxiety and embarrassment. This debate puts pressure on government and local authorities to ensure equal access to dignified facilities, improving quality of life for a vulnerable group often overlooked in public infrastructure planning.
