CHRONICALLY SICK AND DISABLED PERSONS ACT 1970
Section 6 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970 requires that when a notice is
served under section 18/9 of the Public Health Act 1936 requiring the provision of sanitary conveniences
at refreshment or entertainment premises, reasonable and practical provision shall be
made for disabled persons.
When assessing plan proposals for this class of building consideration is given to these requirements
and where sanitary accommodation for members of the public is necessary, sanitary conveniences
for the disabled are also requested to the standard set out in British Standard code of
practice CP 96 Part I 1967. These provisions have or are being made at 5 new hotels and 1 motel.
In some cases accommodation is provided by way of special adaptations to bedroom suites or by
way of portable aids for use with the standard toilets.
