SHOULD THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT ABOLISH HOSPITAL-PARKING CHARGES? [+] serious ballot by winston ACTIVE Mon Mar 03, 08 - Tue Mar 03, 09 Is it right to charge people for using hospital car parks? Those in need of regular treatment (cancer patients etc) suffer the most from the levy, with some hospitals charging £4 an hour (roughly $8) for the use of parking facilities. The charge has been called “morally wrong” by angry protestors, fed up with having to pay abnormally high costs for visiting institutions that claim to provide free health care for all citizens. However, hospital officials state that high costs in urban areas prevent healthy shoppers from occupying needed spaces while splurging on clothes in nearby shopping centres, to the detriment of sick patients who would be unable to park anywhere remotely close to the hospitals buildings. The charges, which provide an important source of annual revenue for the NHS, also enable hospitals to spend more funds on better healthcare for the patients using the parking facilities. So, should the British government abolish hospital-parking charges? Yes No Ballot #123379 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
