Abolish parking charges at Galway University Hospital
We are calling on the HSE to abolish parking charges for patients in Galway University Hospital with immediate effect. Current parking charges are extortionate and put people who are being treated for cancer and other conditions under unnecessary financial pressure.
Why is this important?
It's been revealed that the HSE has taken in more than €3.5 million in parking charges from Galway University Hospital and Portiuncula over the past four years. [1]
It's disgraceful that people are paying such high costs for parking at a hospital. Those who are being treated for cancer or other long-term conditions bear the biggest burden of hospital parking charges – this is disgraceful and must change.
Together, we call on the HSE to scrap parking charges for Galway University Hospital for patients with immediate effect so that people who are seeking healthcare can do so with dignity.
