Since 1 October 1999, the Disability Discrimination Act has required service providers to make “reasonable adjustments” for disabled people, such as providing extra help or making changes to the way they provide their service. From 1 October 2004, these requirements will be extended in relation to physical barriers to access. The Scottish Executive, NHS Scotland, and Disability Rights Commission believe that improved access to health provision for disabled people should not be led by legislation alone. Improving access is not just about the built environment - it is about developing inclusive attitudes and practices that permeate every aspect of services so that people have their diverse needs recognised. The conference aimed to encourage an open debate about the current position within the NHS and to encourage delegates to champion this agenda in their workplace.
