answer text <p>The information requested is not collected centrally.</p><p> </p><p>The provision of parking spaces and the level of any charges that are made to use them are matters for individual National Health Service trusts. NHS organisations have the autonomy to make decisions that best suit their local circumstances.</p><p> </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> </p><p>The Department published clear guidelines (the car parking principles) for NHS organisations that they are expected to follow.</p><p> </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> </p><p>The NHS is responsible for the actions of any private contractor they may employ to manage their hospital car parking service.</p>
