Sanitary facilities for wheelchair users
Wheelchair users must have access to and be able to conveniently use sanitary accommodation. En-suite facilities are preferred for wheelchair accessible bedrooms, with at least as many shower rooms as bathrooms where feasible.
Wheelchair users should be able to gain access to and conveniently use sanitary accommodation. En-suite sanitary facilities are the preferred option for wheelchair accessible bedrooms. Unless there are compelling reasons for not doing so, there should be at least as many en-suite shower rooms as en-suite bathrooms, as some people may find it easier to use a shower than a bath.
