Charter for Hospital Parking

The British Parking Association (BPA), backed by the NHS Confederation and the Healthcare Facilities Consortium have launched a Charter for Hospital Parking

The Charter is designed to help and encourage NHS Trusts to provide parking management systems that are fair for all. The issue of parking management at hospitals is a hot topic, regularly debated, and in response to this the BPA has produced guidelines to help Trusts and car park operators deliver effective and efficient parking for users – many of whom have particular needs.

Bringing together the interests of hospital car park users (staff, visitors and patients), Government, local authorities and commercial organisations, the Charter will be circulated to all NHS Trusts across the UK. Its aim is to strike the right balance between fairness for patients and visitors and hospital staff, as well as the Trust itself.

A list of Trusts and supporters that have signed the Charter can be viewed here

Fair for all not free for all
