Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the public health impact of the closure of many public toilets as referenced in the Royal Society for Public Health report Taking the P: Improving public toilets in the UK, published in 2019.

There is not currently a specific Government assessment of the public health impact of the provision of public toilets. The provision of public toilets is a matter for local authorities, which are responsible for assessing and meeting the needs of their local populations.
