Invest to create more parking spaces at hospitals across the country
Provide funding for the NHS & local councils to invest in building multistorey car parks at or near hospitals to allow ease of access to everyone.
I have been to multiple hospitals across the North East of England, and a consistent issue is finding parking. The vast majority of the parking at the hospitals is often dedicated to staff, meaning patients can be showing up 30-40 minutes early to find a parking space and still being late to appointments. On top of this, patients can then be competing over parking spaces resulting in increased risk of driving mistakes in the car parks, increased likelihood of illegal parking (blocking ambulance routes).
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
