Q-Park and NHS Trust Parking Statement

Q-Park in conjunction with NHS Trusts have agreed to offer free staff and visitor parking during the Covid-19 crisis at Hospital Car Parks

Over the last couple of weeks Q-Park have been in talks with the Taunton and Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust regarding the current crisis and the impact of parking costs for both NHS staff and visitors.

We are delighted to confirm that whilst the government advice was to offer free parking for staff we have opened the doors to both NHS staff but also to visitors who are still allowed to attend the hospital from the 25^th March for an initial period of three months.

Adam Bidder, Managing Director commented “We’re pleased that we’ve managed to get this initiative over the line to help those that are working tirelessly on the frontline against the COVID-19 and to help hospital visitors who are parking at the hospitals at this difficult time.  On behalf of myself and Q-Park we would like to express our gratitude to the NHS staff.”
