Low-paid NHS staff may be forced to leave their jobs after a Cheshire hospital brought back parking charges, a union boss has warned.
Some of the workers, which include porters, cleaners and nurses, are already reliant on foodbanks and can not afford to pay the £15-£20 monthly parking charge at Leighton Hospital in Crewe, UNISON said.
It has been free for NHS staff to park at the hospital since the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020, but the charge was brought back on May 1.
