13/12/22 – Speech on changing places building regulations

I got the chance to raise the recently announced changing places building regulations as recently announced by the Minister.

This could mean around 80 new facilities being built each year.

Currently, the Department estimate that are only 19 such facilities in the entire country.

These new facilities will allow families to plan for family days out something so many of us take for granted.

Too many families have informed me that they are forced to change their loved ones in the back of the car or on the floor of a cold unsuitable changing facility.

This is a positive step forward and we will be welcomed by many.

Have a listen
