On 19th March 2020, the HSE directed hospitals and healthcare facilities to immediately suspend parking charges for staff for the duration of the Covid-19 National Public Health Emergency.  I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly with regard to the queries raised, as soon as possible.
