FREE PARKING AT NHS HOSPITALS IN SCOTLAND

Motion Text

That this House notes that free parking in NHS hospitals in Scotland has helped patients save over £25 million from 2008 to 2015 in hospital car parking fees; further notes that free parking in NHS hospitals in England could be as beneficial to patients as it is in Scotland; recognises that NHS patients receiving vital treatment and hardworking staff should not be paying for parking at NHS hospitals in England; and urges the Government to abolish car parking charges for patients, visitors and staff at NHS hospitals in England.
