Fund all NHS hospital parking through general taxation and abolish visitor fees

Summary

We believe hospital parking charges hit the poor, sick & and NHS staff unfairly. The Government should fund the costs of this from general taxation so NHS car parks are free at use. To prevent non-patient abuse, in-clinic digital validation kiosks could bill the Department of Health directly. We believe that hospital parking fees are an unfair flat-rate tax that devastates the unhealthy-poor. The Government must fund NHS parking via general taxation. In our view, parking fraud by non-hospital commuters can be completely eliminated by moving all validation terminals inside specific hospital wards and clinics. Only genuine patients and visitors inside the building could then log their registration when leaving, billing the cost to the Department of Health who are funded through a fairer general taxation.
