Hospital Car Parking (No. 3)

EDM number 139 in 2014-15, proposed by Robert Halfon on 18/06/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Health services and Roads.

That this House notes that hospital parking charges are a huge burden for long-stay patients; further notes that the average weekly charge for parking in an NHS hospital in England is £39.49; further notes that some hospitals in England charge up to as much as £504.00 for a week of parking; further notes that many hospitals in England are able to offer free parking or concessions for long-stay patients; further notes that many hospitals do not offer concessions for long-stay patients; and is therefore disappointed that NHS hospitals inflict this cost on those suffering from long-term illness.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
