Her comments come after the government vowed to pump in £2m to build new facilities in more than 100 hospitals.

She said: '˜It is utterly shocking how few changing places toilets there are currently in NHS hospitals and other public spaces. People with disabilities and their carers rightly expect to find suitable facilities in a hospital of all places.'
