229. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Health the status of the implementation plan of his Department and the HSE to accompany the review report by the HSE of hospital car parking charges; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52007/19]

I have made it clear I want to see progress made in this area and I am working with my Department and the HSE in this regard. As such, I requested the HSE to conduct a review of hospital car parking charges with a view to establishing clear national guidelines in the area. My Department and the HSE are currently engaging on a draft implementation plan to accompany the review report.
