Nationalise Hospital Car-parking and push all profits into the NHS
It's time to tear up the long-term contracts handed to multinational Car-parking corporations to supply parking at Hospitals around the UK. Patients, families and NHS staff are being put out of pocket to treat and support friends, family and strangers at their time of need.
Why is this important?
Large companies like Indigo, who provide car parks at Hospitals around the country make millions of pounds of profit charging extortionate fees to patients, relatives and staff who need access to the hospitals.
Only a small portion of these profits are turned over to the NHS, with the majority going to tax subsidised firms who continue to rake in millions of pounds.
If these long-term contracts were torn up by our Government and NHS England, prices could be regulated, and all of the profits could go directly into the struggling Health Service.
As it stands, these heartless companies are ripping off thousands each day, the NHS is getting a bad deal, and more and more power is being directed into the hands of a few.
