Matt Hancock slammed for false claim that no NHS staff pay for hospital parking

Boris Johnson faces demands to make hospital parking free permanently for NHS staff - after his Health Secretary made a false claim they don’t have to pay.

Matt Hancock this week boasted “we don’t have parking charges for English hospitals, and we’re not going to for the course of the pandemic”.

But he was slammed after the Mirror identified at least two NHS trusts that have brought back staff parking fees already.

And NHS Providers, which represents hospital chiefs, told us countless more are under pressure to bring back charges due to a lack of guaranteed funds.

Deputy chief executive Saffron Cordery said: “If the government wants to abolish charges, they’re going to have to give us the money.

“Otherwise you’ll be creating a funding gap which will ultimately impact patients.”


Have staff parking charges resumed at the hospital where you work? E-mail details to dan.bloom@mirror.co.uk.
