answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2017 answer text <p>National Health Service car parking data is collected annually and published at:</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://hefs.hscic.gov.uk/ERIC.asp" target="_blank">http://hefs.hscic.gov.uk/ERIC.asp</a></p><p>The 2016-17 Estates Return Information Collection figures show that out of 1,043 hospital sites that have designated disabled parking, 132 have indicated that they charge for disabled parking (which includes disabled people, people with temporary disabilities as well as Blue Badge holders).</p><p> </p><p>Decisions on car parking provision and charging are taken locally by each trust.</p><p> </p><p>The Department published clear guidelines (the car parking principles) for NHS organisations that they are expected to follow. Hospitals should put concessions in place for those who most need help including disabled people, carers and staff who work shifts. The NHS itself is responsible for ensuring that charges are fairly applied. Patients, visitors and staff who have problems with car parking should therefore contact the NHS organisation that runs the car park.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 08/11/2017 10:41:30 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
