Concessions for long term patients have been campaigned for repeatedly.
Patients in the midlands were forced to pay nearly a million euro car parking fees in 2023.
Midland Regional Hospital Tullamore took in €409,183 followed by Mullingar with €316,600 and €182,000 was taken in by the Midland Regional Hospital in Portlaoise.
Long campaigned-for concessions for long term patients are yet to be delivered.
Margaret Hawkins, Health Expert with the Irish Farmer's Journal and Country Living says the move would alleviate pressure on people:
