Fund free parking at NHS hospitals for people over 70

Closed 69 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to fund free parking at hospitals for people over the age of 70. We think this could ease the financial implications for older people who may have more regular hospital visits.
People may be more likely to attend their appointments if this is granted and we think this could save the NHS time. When patients miss appointments, this leads to wasted appointment slots and can increase waiting times and cause potential delays in treatment for others.
