Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what guidance she has issued to NHS trusts on the minimum number of car parking spaces that should be provided at hospital sites.

No specific assessment has been made by the Department in relation to Basildon Hospital, but on the broader issues raised around NHS car parking, I refer the Hon. Member to the answer provided on 2 November in response to Question 37611.
