Accessible school design

Summary

Asked whether school designs account for wheelchair users’ needs, the Minister said the building section was aware and promised to remind it.

Could I ask the Minister if he instructs the building section of his Department to take into account the physical difficulties of handicapped children, especially those in wheelchairs, in the physical design of schools?

Comment on this

I think the building section of my Department is sufficiently sensitive to this particular problem to take cognisance of it. I am pleased the Deputy has referred to it because I will take the opportunity of reminding the section about it again.
