Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to his oral contribution of 1 February 2018, Official Report, what steps he is taking to revisit his Department's guidance, NHS patient, visitor and staff car parking principles.

The information requested is not collected centrally.

National Health Service organisations have the autonomy to make decisions locally on the provision of charges and how car parking is managed for patients, visitors and staff, taking account of their local circumstances.

The Department keeps its 2015 guidance on NHS patient, visitor and staff car parking regularly under review.
