Sorry to disagree here. When producing bulk braille, it is always wisest to
consider the likely lowest common denominator. Many people, especially those
learning braille in later life, find double sided difficult to read. And as
far as things like bank statements are concerned, there is way more numerical
data, so even grade 1 production isn't a major issue.
That said, I'm about to post something on the "Preferences" subject.

The idea you could fight for single-sided Braille on the grounds of
discrimination is utter crap. You might as well say a sighted person could
fight for their bank statements to be delivered on pink paper with lovely
yellow flowers on it.
You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of
the time. Replace the word 'fool' with 'please' in this instance.
I'd quite like Lisa Tarbuck to come to my house and read my statements to me
naked but it aint gonna happen any time soon.
Get real. Single-sided is a preference, not a need. And no body or
institution can provide for every preference.
