Charges for parking at NHS hospitals in Wales are to be scrapped after a campaign by cancer patients who could not afford the cost of frequent visits for treatment. The Welsh assembly is today expected to set a timetable for introducing free parking in a further break from NHS policies in England. Parking for patients, staff and visitors will become free at most Welsh hospitals from April 1, the first anniversary of the abolition of prescription charges in Wales. Other Welsh hospitals, which have contracted out control of car parks, will be instructed to follow suit as soon as the contracts permit.
