Dr. Caitriona Henchion:

We do not see people with disabilities very often. I think there will clearly be issues for a woman who needs a carer in order to travel, because at the very least she has had to disclose her situation to that carer. Even with something as simple as being deaf and having a limited ability to speak, how are people with these disabilities expected to ring a clinic in the UK and make an appointment for themselves, yet one is not allowed to assist them in that way.
