Staff, volunteers and patients at London hospices currently fall outside the NHS claim-back scheme.
Labour MP Jon Cruddas lobbied City Hall for hospice exemptions to UlezCity Hall will "consider" an MP's request to make staff, volunteers and patients at hospices exempt from paying the London Ulez charge, Sadiq Khan's transport deputy has said.
In his letter, the MP specifically referred to St Francis Hospice in Havering-atte-Bower, a village just inside the Greater London boundary where buses are the only available public transport. Under that scheme, NHS patients who have been clinically assessed as too ill to travel to an appointment on public transport are generally eligible to claim back any Ulez charge and/or congestion charge they paid from their treating hospital.Ulez expansion: Contested claims examined
"We've evolved the support structures that we've put [in place], through the scrappage scheme for example, and the mayor's been very clear that we'll continue to listen to Londoners on how we can improve the scheme."
