<p>The level and appropriateness of car parking charges at National Health Service
sites for staff is the responsibility of the local NHS trust. We have published the
NHS Car Parking Principles which clearly state that concessions should be offered

due to their shift pattern.</p><p>However, given it is the responsibility of the local
NHS trust, the Department has no jurisdiction to reduce or eliminate hospital car
parking charges for nurses, doctors and essential healthcare workers.</p>
