Free Parking for all NHS Staff and Volunteers at Hospitals in England
At hospitals in England, NHS staff have to pay for their parking. To be charged to spend your day dedicated to helping others is unjust; especially during the COVID-19 outbreak.
In the few cases that staff can get permits, these car parks rarely have enough space to fill all employees.
To be an essential part of saving lives, you should not have to worry about receiving fines while at work; especially when the NHS is under such stress that we want as many people as possible.
Hospitals such as West Middlesex Hospital in Isleworth take advantage of our high working, caring and inevitably stressed NHS staff.
