Easy access account with debit card

Hi I'm trying to help my dad look for an easy access account which has a debit card, it's going to be under 5k. 

It could be fixed although I just don't want the hassle of having to sort it out again next year. 

Any advice?

    Any consideration that you be added to whatever account as third party authority so you can help him manage things as time ticks along?  Not sure all banks allow this so that might focus your search.

    I've looked at a few but it's hard to work out if they give you a debit card most don't.

    I wasn't aware I could do that, he's fine with money etc just not v good with the Internet so was looking for a account where he can use the local post office to pay in any extra per month.

    The three listed there are all current accounts and I believe all such accounts issue debit cards - which ones have you found that don't?
