Baroness Felicity Lane Fox was a champion of the rights of people with disabilities and a driving force behind the fundraising campaign that led to the opening of the Lane Fox Respiratory Unit at St Thomas’ Hospital in 1989. The unit was inspired by Dr Geoffrey Spencer (1929–2018). His work on enabling disabled patients to live as normally as possible was ground-breaking and resulted in the award of the OBE in 1981.

At the age of 12 Felicity Lane Fox was paralysed by polio. She campaigned for disability rights and was appointed OBE for services to disabled people in 1976. She was made a life-peer in 1981 and was active member of the House of Lords.
