National Health Service car parking data including the number of NHS hospitals that charge for disabled car parking is collected annually through Estates Return Information Collection (ERIC).<\/p>
<\/p>
All ERIC data is published at:<\/p>

http://hefs.hscic.gov.uk/ERIC.asp<\/a><\/p> <\/p> The 2016-17 figures show that out of 1,043 hospital sites that have designated disabled parking, 132 charge for disabled parking which includes disabled people, people with temporary disabilities as well as Blue Badge holders.<\/p> <\/p> The provision of parking spaces and the level of any charges that are made to use them are matters for individual NHS trusts. NHS organisations must have the autonomy to make decisions that best suit their local circumstances.<\/p> <\/p> Details of charges, concessions and additional charges should be well publicised including at car park entrances, wherever payment is made and inside the hospital. They should also be included on the hospital website and on patient letters and forms, where appropriate.<\/p> <\/p> The Department published clear guidelines (the car parking principles) for National Health Service organisations that they are expected to follow. The guidelines are available at the following link:<\/p> <\/p> https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/nhs-patient-visitor-and-staff-car-parking-principles/nhs-patient-visitor-and-staff-car-parking-principles<\/a><\/p> <\/p> 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 which runs the car park.<\/p> <\/p> The NHS trust remains responsible for the actions of any private contractor they may employ to manage their hospital car parking service.<\/p>"}
