Hospitals collect €60,000 a day in parking charges.
That's according to new figures from the HSE - revealed by Newstalk this morning. The data shows €22.4 million was received by hospitals around the country in 2017. Wexford General Hospital is among the top ten for that year, colecting almost €730,000 in parking fees. Sinn Fein's Health Spokesperson Louise O’Reilly - who obtained the data through a parliamentary question - says it's an unfair charge on people who have no choice but to attend hospital.
