Abstract
Explores the concept of accessibility for all, with particular emphasis on the problems that face people with a disability. Highlights the need for all users to be able to get in to the entrance of a healthcare building, enter and move freely through it, using all the facilities as and when necessary, and to exit a building safely, particularly in an emergency situation such as a fire.
