HOSPITAL CAR PARKING (No.2)

Early day motion 138, tabled 18 June 2014 by Robert Halfon (Conservative). Signed by 11 members.

That this House notes that hospital parking charges are a huge burden for patients who have to visit hospital regularly; further notes that the average daily charge for parking in an NHS hospital in England is £7.72; further notes that some hospitals in England charge up to £72.00 for a day of parking; further notes that many hospitals are able to offer free parking or a concession for frequent visitors; further notes that many of these hospitals do not offer concessions for frequent patients; and is therefore disappointed that NHS hospitals inflict this cost on frequent visitors.
