National Health Service staff working overnight already benefit from free hospital car parking as part of the Government's manifesto commitment to provide free parking for in-need groups. There are no plans to extend that to NHS staff parking at other times. During the COVID-19 pandemic we provided free hospital car parking for all NHS staff, however there was significantly less pressure on limited carparking capacity during that time.
