Stop the parking charges for our NHS nurses at Stepping Hill Hospital, they shouldn't have to pay to work neither should patients/family members attending appointments in particular within the Mental Health Unit where you can be an inpatient over a long period of time
Why is this important?
I have been a patient accessing mental health services over the past 30 years. I have also been a patient within the stroke wards and I have experienced the care, kindness and compassion from our NHS workers that goes beyond the call of duty and is indeed a calling in itself. The steady decline of the NHS workforce is something we should all be concerned with and with nurses being charged i.e. payments taken directly from their wages to come to work is an absolute disgrace and needs to be stopped immediately. I know of nurses having to walk long distances before starting their shifts because they cannot afford to park at Stepping Hill Hospital
