2:18Now PlayingTom Swarbrick challenged Health Secretary Matt Hancock over Government plans to reintroduce hospital parking charges for frontline workers after the crisis.
Tom Swarbrick branded the move a "totally unnecessary" way of "burdening hard-working NHS staff", with reports suggesting workers could face costs of up to £40 per day.
Mr Hancock told LBC this was the "first he'd heard of it" and Tom cited International Trade Secretary Liz Truss who said in the Commons that the fee freeze "could not last forever."
"That's right, we brought this in for the crisis period," confirmed Mr Hancock, "we're keeping parking free for staff for now."
Mr Hancock said "of course" this issue will have to be resolved as when visitors are allowed back to hospitals.
Tom pushed Mr Hancock to make a commitment: "They have worked incredibly hard during this, they have lost colleagues from this as well, you know better than anyone about the effort that they've put in.
