NHS: Parking
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of removing car-parking charges for NHS patients and staff.
Answered by Karin Smyth
No assessment has been made of the potential merits of removing car-parking charges for National Health Service patients and staff.
All NHS trusts that charge for hospital car parking provide free parking to in-need groups, which include NHS staff working overnight, frequent outpatient attenders, disabled people, and parents of children staying overnight in hospital.
