Hospital car parks are free for National Health Service staff for this pandemic and this remains the Government’s position.

From its introduction in March 2020 and until October 2020, any loss of income was covered by the COVID-19 reimbursement provided to trusts. Since October 2020, funding for the delivery of free staff parking has been included as part of trusts’ overall system allocation.
