HOSPITAL CAR PARKING (No.3)

Early day motion 139, tabled 18 June 2014 by Robert Halfon (Conservative). Signed by 16 members.

That this House notes that hospital parking charges are a huge burden for long-stay patients; further notes that the average weekly charge for parking in an NHS hospital in England is £39.49; further notes that some hospitals in England charge up to as much as £504.00 for a week of parking; further notes that many hospitals in England are able to offer free parking or concessions for long-stay patients; further notes that many hospitals do not offer concessions for long-stay patients; and is therefore disappointed that NHS hospitals inflict this cost on those suffering from long-term illness.

Signatures by party: Labour 6, DUP 3, Conservative 2, Liberal Democrat 2, Alliance 1, Independent 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
