🧡(2/5) all your medical information will be accessible in one place. This is the first time the NHS have ever done this. This is an important move, because the Government say that patients will not have to keep telling healthcare staff that they are deaf over and over again...

As the deaf health charity we at @signhealth.bsky.social have been working with @rnid.bsky.social on our new report, Still Ignored.

Deaf people are still fighting for accessible healthcare. Many face extremely poor health outcomes as a result and this must end - no more excuses, no more barriers.

It's not too late to do the right thing with benefits and welfare, Labour told Sense warns that cutting disability benefits will plunge more people into poverty, but it’s not too late for Labour to do the right thing.

Help us into work, not poverty

Thank you @bigissue.com for the chance to share my views and our evidence from @sensecharity.bsky.social on how these cuts could impact disabled people’s lives.
