Hospital Car Parking Charges - Extra Costs For Disabled People
Robert Halfon
2018-02-27
That this House notes that the Government issued guidance in 2014 recommending that concessions or free parking should be available to blue badge holders at NHS hospitals in England; further notes that, despite this guidance, almost half of NHS hospitals in England charge blue badge holders to park; understands that hospital car parking charges present an extra cost for disabled people; acknowledges new research carried out by Scope, the disability charity, that disabled people can face extra costs of £570 a month related to their impairment or condition; recognises that hospital car parking charges are an unfair extra cost affecting the most vulnerable in society; and therefore urges the Government to scrap hospital car parking charges at NHS hospitals in England.
