Deaf people are still fighting for accessible healthcare. Many face extremely poor health outcomes as a result and this must end - no more excuses, no more barriers.

Ironically seeing this in Sign Language Week, the same week I had an inaccessible hospital appointment because my GP's request for a BSL appt in the referral didn't get processed properly.
Thank you MP @thurrockjen.bsky.social for highlighting the work of SignHealth and the barriers for deaf people accessing GP appointments in today's British Sign Language Week debate in Westminster.
