The HSE has suspended all car parking charges at hospitals and healthcare facilities for the duration of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Paul Reid, CEO of the HSE, announced the measures this afternoon with a post on social media, saying: 'I have just directed hospitals and healthcare facilities to immediately suspend car parking charges for HSE staff for the duration of Covid-19. In this difficult time, it is only right that we should recognise their brave commitment and dedication.'
