PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Hospital parking charges (19 December 2019)
Motion Details
That this House notes the unreasonably high charges faced by NHS staff, patients, visitors and bereaved people in hospital car parks across the United Kingdom; recognises that this is an unfair levy on vulnerable people who may be in severe distress; acknowledges that previous efforts to prevent further increases or to scrap charges have been rejected by successive Governments; and calls on the Government to legislate for hospital parking to be free for NHS staff, patients and their visitors.
