Support groups are calling for parking charges to be scrapped or reduced.
Parents of children with cancer spend up to €300 per month on hospital car park charges.
That's according to Laura Cullinan, who says she paid €4 an hour for parking while her daughter Isobel attended Mullingar Regional Hospital for treatment.
The Irish Cancer Society and Children in Hospital Ireland have called for parking charges to be scrapped or reduced.
Ms. Cullinan, who's also a member of Childhood Cancer Ireland, has been speaking with Will Faulkner on Midlands Today:
