Free car parking for NHS workers will be coming to an end on Friday, April 1.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced the changes to the perk, which was originally introduced during the coronavirus pandemic. On behalf of the Government, he offered his thanks to frontline NHS workers for their ‘tireless work to keep people safe’ over the past two years.
The Department of Health and Social Care said that the broader policy was temporary and had been introduced "for the duration of the pandemic". It added that running the scheme had cost around £130million over nearly two years.
