Reply To: NHS parking charges

[sammy]

Complex issue as some places were overrun by people not visiting hospitals and parking for free in hospital car parks…..not been like that for a long time though.

The charges vary significantly in different locations which is an issue.

Charging staff to park at work is problem for many…..I’ve worked in.NHS Trusts where one has to pay an annual fee to park but many more permits are granted than there are spaces….even accounting for shift patterns.

Its also becoming a recruitment problem for some…..my daughter qualifies as a nurse in September and one of her factors in deciding where to work is parking costs and availability!
