Whether it is or it isn’t, Mr Deputy Speaker, I will move on.
I asked my local hospital how many carers already use its car parking spaces, which very much is our concern today. It replied:
“The Foundation Trust is currently unable to determine how many carers use the designated hospital car parks. It would therefore be difficult to assess the potential impact on car parking revenue”.
That goes some way towards answering the question my hon. Friend the Member for Christchurch asked. The honest answer is that we do not know what the impact will be on any particular hospital. My local hospital certainly does not know.
