Rejected on
Stop private companies from profiting from fines at hospitals during and start of the outbreak of Covid 19.
Wait times have in creased during the pandemic. Companies should not be profiting from extended stays at hospitals.
Issuing fines adds extra stress to already upset patient or family member. Especially when they have no control how long they will be there for.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Car parking is a matter for individual hospital trusts.
The Government has funded hospital car parking for NHS staff during the Covid-19 pandemic. You could start a petition calling for the Government to fund hospital parking for all users for this period.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
