Fund free hospital parking in England for all patients

Closed 267 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like the government to bring England inline with Scotland and Wales and fund free hospital parking for all patients at NHS hospitals. It's an extra cost paid by patients or those visiting loved ones, and we think it is unfair for patients in England to be treated differently in this way.
We believe that with a cost of living crisis and many families hard pressed to pay household bills, paying to park at hospitals is an added cost that they really don't need. It seems unfair that taxpayers in England are, in our view, punished with what we see as an extra tax that patients in Scotland and Wales are not having to pay.
