STAFF HOSPITAL CAR PARKING CHARGES

That this House notes that staff in the vast majority of NHS hospitals must pay to park at their place of work; further notes that Government guidance released in 2014 stated that concessions, including free or reduced charges or caps, should be available for staff working shifts that mean public transport cannot be used; notes that many hospitals charge employees based only on their pay band; is disappointed that more has not been achieved to get hospital staff a better deal; and urges the Government to scrap parking charges for hospital employees.
