Blue badge for people with a stoma bag's

The Issue

My name is delma and I am trying to make a change with blue badges.The blue badge parking scheme has been extended to include people with hidden disabilities for the first time across England. Those with conditions such as dementia, anxiety disorders or brain injuries can apply for a badge to help them travel to work, socialise and access shops and services.I have a hidden disability, it called a ileostomy (stoma).A ileostomy or stoma is where a small piece of your intestines is pulled out to a opening on your  abdominal..This is where all your waste (poo) collects into a bag.You have no control over this and when the bag gets full it's needs emptying asap.Now it's kind of hard when you have a very high output and you are in a car and the bag is almost at bursting point.Then you gotta find somewhere to park to find a toilet so you can empty the bag before it pops and goes everywhere.This can be very upsetting and very embarrassing when it happens.I get very anxious days before having to go out anyway due to my high output stoma.So I think hidden disabilities should include stoma users.I hope you will help me raise more awareness for my cause..Thank you
