Fund free parking at hospitals for all healthcare students on placements

Closed 465 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to fund free parking at Hospitals for trainee Doctors and Nurses. Many trainee Doctors and Nurses are having to pay parking charges whilst on placement at Hospitals during their training period.
For example, some trainee staff working full time at a hospital during placement, for which they don't get paid, and then have to pay £30.00 per week to park. Over a 7-week placement parking will cost them £210.00

I think this is absolutely disgusting and should not be allowed to continue.
