Free parking in all nhs car parks
All public health car parks in the Nhs should be free for staff, visitors and patients.
We would like to demand that all government political parties make Nhs car parks free from parking charges.
Why is this important?
Patients, relatives and visitors have to use the car parks when visiting nhs hospitals across the uk and they are charged for the use to park; to take, visit or see a dying relative or injured family member.
We have no alternative to visit, as local community hospitals are being closed and there is no other option but to visit and pay for parking.
Nhs are one of the largest UK employers and for the majority of staff, using public transport to get to work because of shifts or for dropping children off at school have no alternative but to take their vehicle.
We all know that the Nhs has had the funding cut, but staff, patients and visitors should not have to fund this shortfall. In many hospitals the private sectors run the car parks for profits.
Nhs should be free for all
Therefore it is important that the public back this petition to demand that the government cease all charges on Nhs car parks.
