Capital funding for Changing Places toilets

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

This Westminster Hall debate examines capital funding for Changing Places toilets—accessible facilities designed for people with complex disabilities who need space and equipment for personal care and toileting. The debate will explore how to secure and expand dedicated funding for these specialist facilities, which are currently in short supply across the UK and represent a significant access barrier for disabled people and their carers.

Changing Places toilets are essential disability infrastructure. Without adequate capital funding, disabled people with complex needs face severe barriers to participating in public life, work, and community activities. The debate reflects growing recognition that standard accessible toilets are insufficient for some users and that sustained public investment is needed to close a significant equality gap.
