Hospital Car Parking And Dialysis Patients

EDM number 889 in 2017-19, proposed by Robert Halfon on 01/02/2018.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases, Health services and Roads.

That this House acknowledges research by Kidney Care UK which found that dialysis patients go to hospitals up to three times a week for life-maintaining treatment; notes that each appointment lasts a minimum of four hours; understands that four hours of parking at a NHS hospital in England costs on average £3.28; further understands how these charges stack up and become an additional barrier for those who need life-maintaining treatment; and urges the Government to scrap hospital car parking charges for patients frequently using vital hospital services.

This motion has been signed by a total of 1 MPs.
