Closed Forever Free Parking for NHS and Care Workers

Closed on

As a way of saying Thank You to all the frontline workers of the NHS and Care Workers. I would like the Government make it law that no NHS or Care Worker that has to park in NHS car parks will never have to pay for it again.

I think that the fact that these people put their lives on the line every time they went to work, not knowing what may happen to them without a second thought. They put their jobs before themselves and families and did it not only day by day but also for longer hours that normally would not work. To do this would be a very small way of saying thank you.

    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.
