The Government has opened a consultation process on proposals for Car Parking Charges at hospitals.
Responders are being asked to make their preferences known before 23 February 2010 on the following ideas:-
Free Parking for visitors to inpatients
Free parking for visitors to inpatients who have hospital stays of greater than (for example) 3 or more nights
Free parking for outpatients with, for example more than 3 appointments in a single course of treatment
A cap on daily parking for priority groups
No mandatory concessions but improved adherence to current guidance
