Vital Health Information Is Still Not Accessible After Years Of Campaigning

Season 1, Episode 1717,   May 16, 2023, 08:15 AM

Despite UK laws like the Disability Discrimination Act and the Equalities Act, many blind and partially sighted people are still receiving vital health information in formats they can’t read.

The Accessible Health Information Standard has only had a very limited impact since it’s inception in 2016, leading to further frustration.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Allan Russell spoke to Khadija Rasa, from RNIB, to find out what the issues are and how a new drive aims to improve the situation.
