Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent estimate he has made of the number of NHS staff who have received parking fines while attending their place of work.
No recent estimate has been made. In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government committed to provide free hospital car parking for National Health Service staff on National Health Service sites during the pandemic. As this policy currently remains in place, no fines should have been issued to NHS staff using hospital car parks since March 2020.
