Question:
To ask the Minister of Health whether he has any plans to introduce a free or subsided parking scheme for personnel at health and social care facilities.

Answer:

I have no plans to review my Department’s policy on car parking charges at this time.

The aim of my Department’s policy on car parking is to recover the cost of providing car parks across the Health Estate. It is the responsibility of each Health and Social Care Trust to determine the way the policy is applied to each of their sites to enable them to recover these costs.
