My wife, Lin, is a right hemi. The adaptions she needs are automatic
transmission (not "standard" in the UK), knob on the wheel, and
fingertip infrared controls for lights, indicators, horn, wipers,
etc. (so that she doesn't have to let go of the wheel.)

The government provide the automatic car (rolling 3 yr lease - so new
car ever 3 years - see http://www.motability.co.uk), but we have to
pay for the adaptions - about £1,300.

Amber may need the same sort of adaptions.

Cheers
