Until July, they don't need to, but from today, they have to identify who
should.  You could just take no for an answer, or you could point out that
it is the law.

told me absolutely not!

It's worth a conversation with your GP just in case someone in the NHS
has the capability to send emails.

Not a cat in hell's chance, since the NHS don't even have the resource
to correctly or adequately treat/communicate with, users with no
special requirements.

There remain countless *.gov.uk resources online that break the UK
government's own rules.

 From today, The Accessible Information Standard says that healthcare
providers  should identify and record all their users who need
information in an accessible format.  Then, from 1st July, they must
provide that accessible format.

The Accessible Information Standard aims to make sure that disabled
people have access to information that they can understand and any
communication support they might need.
The standard tells organisations how to make information accessible
to the following people:
.  Patients
.  Service users
.  Their carers and parents.
This includes making sure that people get information in different
formats if they need it, such as:
.  Large print
.  Braille
.  Easy read
.  Via email.
TheAccessible Information Standard also tells organisations how to
support people's communication needs, for example by offering support
from a British Sign Language (BSL)  interpreter, deafblind manual
interpreter or an advocate.
As part of theAccessible Information Standard, organisations that
provide NHS or adult social care must do five things. They must:
1  Ask people if they have any information or communication needs,
and find out how to meet their needs.
2  Record those needs in a set way.  Highlight a person's file, so it
is clear that they have information or communication needs, and
clearly explain how those needs should be met.
3 Share information about a person's needs with other NHS and adult
social care providers, when they have consent or permission to do so.
4 Make sure that people get information in an accessible way and
communication support if they need it.
5  All organisations that provide NHS or adult social care must
follow the standard.
This includes NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts, and GP practices.
Organisations that pay for and make decisions about NHS and adult
social care services must also support the standard.
