Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Grahame Morris and Jeremy Hunt

Tuesday 10th October 2017 Commons Chamber

[Grahame Morris (Easington) (Lab)]

Will the Minister abolish the patient penalty and scrap hospital car parking charges, which punish both the sick and hard-working NHS staff, as well as causing problems for residents living adjacent to NHS hospitals, such as Peterlee Community Hospital in my constituency?

[Mr Hunt]

I do understand the concerns raised, and all hospitals are under a responsibility to make sure that they have proper arrangements in place for people on low incomes and people who have to visit hospitals regularly.
