Correct me if I am wrong , but surely the NHS is there for MEDICAL matters and the accessibility of washing facilities is NOT a Medical
concern . Thus the provision of Bath Handles , walk in showers and suchlike woud be Social Srvice , NOT N H S .
My Mother had a similar problem with getting in and out of her bath , so the Social Services assessed her and the bath was removed and a walk in shower installed at NO cost to my mother .
Admittedly , this was in a Council Flat , not a privately owned place .
