Many Cancer Patients Do Not Get Discounted Parking

A poll by charity Macmillan Cancer Support has found that many cancer patients do not get free or discounted parking at hospitals.

"When they are in hospital to get life-saving treatment, vulnerable cancer patients are being hit with this extra and unavoidable cost at a time when they should be focusing on their health," said Mike Hobday, head of policy at Macmillan. "Frustratingly, even when hospitals have got concessions in place, they are not telling patients about them."
