A
BILL

This bill aims to help NHS hospitals by reducing two costs: parking charges that patients pay and business rates (property taxes) that hospitals must pay to local authorities. The goal is to free up money for hospitals to use on healthcare services rather than these expenses.
Presented by Mr Peter Bone.
