YORK hospital staff are to get free parking from tomorrow, Tuesday, until further notice.

Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has announced that from tomorrow, all staff car parking charges will be suspended with immediate effect at York, Bridlington and Scarborough hospitals until further notice, 'in a move to support staff getting to and from work for the duration of the outbreak.'

It tweeted; "From 1 April payroll deductions for parking will be stopped, and pay and display machines will be switched off this evening. Staff with parking permits can park on any site for free.

"We hope these small gestures will enable to you stay healthy and feel supported during what are challenging and increasingly difficult times. Thank you."
