Car parking charges at NHS hospitals in England

Motion Text

That this House supports an end to car parking charges at NHS hospitals in England; recognises that the NHS was established to be free at the point of access; contends that extortionate car parking charges mean that the NHS is not free at the point of access for people with cars; further recognises that the charges are not only unfair for patients and their visitors but for hardworking NHS staff and realises that this is a clear injustice; and therefore urges the Government to scrap car parking charges at NHS hospitals in England.
