Stop NHS hospitals charging NHS staff to park in NHS staff car parks

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

NHS staff are being charged to park in NHS car park. This money is usually taken directly out of staff pay checks. We want this practice to be stopped
This is an unfair practice of essentially charging staff for the privilege of working. This is detrimental to staff moral and unfair to staff.
