Consultation on the Re-introduction of Hospital Parking Charges

1. Do you agree (in principle) that the re-introduction of hospital parking charges is fair and appropriate in the context of the Department’s need to generate additional income for the Health Service given the current pressures on budgets?
2. On the basis that it may result in increased hospital parking charges, would you support the following concessions which could help reduce the impact charging may have on some patients, visitors and staff?
3. Have you identified any Section 75 equality issues as a result of the current hospital parking charges policy?
4. Taking account of the impact on demand once hospital parking charges are abolished, do you believe that the re-introduction of hospital parking charges could negatively impact people from rural areas?
