HOSPITAL CAR PARKING (No.5)

Early day motion 149, tabled 19 June 2014 by Robert Halfon (Conservative). Signed by 13 members.

That this House notes that 46 per cent of respondents in the most recent National Patient Choice Survey rated car parking as one of the factors in choosing a hospital; recognises that patients should be free to focus solely on getting the best care; is therefore disappointed that so many hospitals choose to charge patients to access a vital national service; and therefore urges the Government to consider ways to reduce the cost of hospital parking.
