being sectioned with a physical disability

if things were to ever get worse for me and if no other option was available, how would i even be able to get sectioned with a physical disability? ive done some research on inpatient mental health facilities and they dont really provide any details about accessibility. given the lack of NHS mental health beds and space within the mental health system, how would they be able to provide for my mental let alone physical needs properly?

    @toffuna101 Honestly I'm really not sure, but that's a great question, I've never really thought about it before. Legally buildings are supposed to comply with the 2010 Equality Act, but I'm actually not sure about whether they are in practice as like you say there are limitations such as space etc.

    I hope someone can help answer this as I'm interested too.

    @IainJammyboy so they dont really like help with your mental health and stuff u with medication instead? i thought you could go there voluntarily if u were capable in doing so. also what if u cant get in contact with one of those teams?
