Disability Royal Commission hears from woman who has been bedridden for 20 years
A woman who has been bedridden for two decades has told a royal commission she's worried she will lose access to life-changing technology after the coronavirus pandemic.
Ricky Buchanan has lived with multiple disabilities since she was a teenager and hasn't been able to leave her Melbourne home for 20 years.
The 45-year-old is largely bedridden because of severe chronic fatigue syndrome, which she has lived with since contracting glandular fever in her 20s.
A video interview that appeared on SBS's Insight program was played to the Disability Royal Commission, which is sitting in Sydney this week.
