The GPA has completed an audit of toilet provision across its managed estate. This assessment confirms that all facilities designated as 'Universal Provision' align with the GPA design guide; these are fully enclosed, self-contained rooms intended for individual use, containing a WC, washbasin, and hand-drying facilities. The audit identified no instances of universal facilities that deviate from these standards—specifically, facilities that are not fully enclosed or not self-contained—within the assessed portfolio.
