Car Parking Charges

Irish Cancer Society welcomes Minister's announcement on hospital car parking charges

The Irish Cancer Society welcomes the announcement by Minister Simon Harris of a review of the car parking charges in our hospitals and his commitment to establish new national guidelines to inform practice in hospital car parking charges around the country. 
 
The Society consistently hears from cancer patients about the financial impact of a cancer diagnosis and we have, for some time, called for national guidelines for car parking in hospitals. 
 
We welcome the opportunity to engage with the Minister and the HSE to find solutions which take into account the needs of patients who are required to regularly visit our hospitals for cancer treatment. We will work to ensure early adoption of new patient focussed car parking charges.
