It was fantastic to be at @SeneddWales for today’s debate on the BSL Wales Bill, which had unanimous and cross-party support.
We want to thank @MarkIsherwoodMS for bringing the Bill forward and also the Cabinet Secretary @JaneHutt for the Government’s support for the Bill.

More than 850,000 people in Wales have some degree of hearing loss. If left undiagnosed or without the right support, it can have a profound effect on health and wellbeing ✍️Crystal Rolfe wp.me/p8Mk4U-1aTm

Richard MacQueen, from Dundee, was left confused in hospital after being told his test results. A simple thumbs-up from a nurse led him to believe he was HIV positive.
Having a BSL interpreter present could've avoided confusion that Richard experienced.

A decade ago, too many people were excluded from streaming and on-demand TV. But today, thanks to campaigners, partners & supporters, subtitles are no longer a ‘nice to have’ - they’re recognised as a right.
We’ve come a long way - but there’s more to do: bit.ly/4qdU1If

Terry, who is profoundly deaf, shared how he spent 24 hours in hospital without the support of an interpreter.
His story highlights the urgent need for interpreter access in healthcare. No one should feel isolated or unsafe when receiving medical care.
