HOSPITAL CAR PARKING FOR PATIENTS WITH BRAIN INJURY

Early day motion 974, tabled 26 February 2018 by Robert Halfon (Conservative). Signed by 11 members.

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.

Signatures by party: Conservative 4, Labour 4, DUP 1, Labour/Co-operative 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
