Access All Areas with Dermot and Felicity

This week on Access All Areas with Dermot and Felicity. This week's discussions were vaccines being opened for all that needs them and can get access to them. We also discussed ableism with looking to dating, especially within dating websites and agency. This was sparked by a refusal to have disabled journalist Lucy Webster, which mirrored a similar experience with Dermot Devlin. This weekend marks the 30th Birthday of co-host Felicity. Happy Birthday Felicity. Today is also International Rare Disease Day.
