answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2023 answer text <p>We have no current plans to make a specific assessment. Through the Government’s commitment, all trusts that charge for hospital car parking now provide free parking to in-need groups, which include National Health Service staff working overnight, frequent outpatient attenders, disabled people and parents of children staying overnight in hospital. An assessment of in-need groups was undertaken during the development of this policy to capture as wide a range of patients as possible.</p><p>To minimise the risk of patients missing appointments owing to parking issues, NHS England advise trusts that they should consider installing ‘pay on exit’ or similar schemes so that drivers pay only for the time that they have used when they leave.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 29/06/2023 10:52:15 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

The independent Advisory Group on Non-Ionising Radiation published their report in the UK in 2012 and the European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) published their report in 2015.
