If any excess is generated, it is used to fund clinical services.</p><p> </p><p>NHS trusts make decisions locally about the provision of car parking to patients, visitors and staff, and are provided guidance by the Department in published car parking principles. The principles provide a sufficient mandate for trusts to take a responsible approach to charging, including recommendations to charge on exit and providing reduced costs.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay grouped question UIN 161148 question first answered 12/07/2018 13:47:03 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2018 answer text <p>My Rt Honourable Friend, the Secretary of State, responded on 9 July to the outline proposals for devolution to authorities within Yorkshire which 18 council leaders submitted on 5 March 2018. His response makes clear that whilst we are prepared to consider any proposals, until the Sheffield City Region devolution deal is fully implemented, the Government is not prepared to enter into any discussion about wider devolution arrangements in Yorkshire that would include some or all of the Sheffield City Region authorities. I am in informal discussions with the newly elected mayor for that City Region who is looking to work closely with us to unlock the benefits of devolution – first to implement the 2015 Sheffield City Region devolution agreement.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 10/07/2018 09:40:36 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
