Stop charging NHS staff to park at hospitals
Implement free parking at NHS hospitals for staff. Especially at this time of crisis, it is unacceptable to expect nurses doctors and other hospital staff pay up to £80 a week to park at 348 hospitals across the UK.
They are doing arguably the most important job right now, for all of us.
NHS staff are taking care of us all when we need it the most and them being charged to go to work is completely unfair. Many work night shifts and therefore public transport is not an option.
