Closed Allow free parking for all NHS employees on NHS property or their place of work.

Closed on

Ensure that all NHS trusts are obligated to negotiate future and renegotiate current contracts to ensure free parking for NHS employees at all NHS or contracted out car parks in the UK, and to prevent NHS employees being charged to park their cars at their place of work.

Coronavirus has emphasised beyond any doubt, the dedication that NHS employees have always shown in responding to health crises in a working environment where they have also been reluctant to take, or relinquished the right to take industrial action to express grievances, leaving them vulnerable to the type of exploitation of having to pay to be able to attend their place of work.

    MPs will debate parking charges for NHS staff at hospitals during the covid-19 outbreak on Tuesday 1 December in Westminster Hall.

    This will be a general debate. General debates allow MPs to debate important issues, however they do not end in a vote nor can they change the law.

    The debate will start at 4.00pm and last for 30 minutes.
