I propose to take Questions Nos. 113 and 127 together.
Early this year I requested the HSE to undertake a review of car parking charges in public hospitals. The HSE established a review group with the aim of providing clear national guidance and principles for hospitals with regard to car parking.
I met with HSE officials in October to discuss the progress of this review. I understand that the HSE is considering the draft recommendations in the context of the development of its National Service Plan for 2019 and will submit the final report shortly.
