PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
HOSPITAL CAR PARKING FOR PATIENTS WITH BRAIN INJURY (26 February 2018)

That this House notes that patients recovering from brain surgery often require long stays in hospital; recognises that this can be a particularly stressful situation when the patient is a young person or child; acknowledges that family members and friends are likely to want to visit the patient; is shocked to learn that the mother of a 16-year-old brain injury patient would have had to pay £175 a week to visit her son, had she not found other means; understands the financial burden and stress this presents for families; and urges the Government to abolish car parking charges at NHS hospitals in England.
