| Annotation | Although many of the great cities of the ancient world had public toilets, it was not until Victorian times that they appeared in any great number in Britain. The Public Health Act 1848 called for "public necessaries" to be provided to improve sanitation. In recent years, though, toilet closures have attracted much attention. This article discusses the effects of incontinence on older people. The author argues that changes in approach can make a real difference to the quality of life for many older people. (RH). |
