Andy Burnham proposed the gradual elimination of free parking for patients and hospitals planned in some patients, which he said had caused great anger .
The Secretary of Health, uses a fair system for parents and friends of people admitted to hospital in England.
See if charges are allowed for all visitors to remove patients – or simply for longer stays.
For patients, there is free parking, or looking for a cap on fees for those who need to make appointments.
Parking is free is already in most hospitals in Scotland and Wales and a number of priority groups of patients in Northern Ireland.
Mr Burnham announced in September that it would phase out over three years, the cost to hospitals in England for patients who are admitted.
However, eight weeks of consultation – which runs until February 23 is – is also on the fees for ambulatory patients who meet regular deadlines – such as looking for cancer chemotherapy in patients with regular meetings.
Mr Burnham told the BBC: I think the time is ripe to adopt a fairer and more consistent across the parking NHS. Frankly, I think the future is currently unclear, the various systems is possible. He said that caused great resentment, but the government to ensure that the costs of running secure sites covered.
NHS trusts have argued that some parking fees are necessary to ensure that Medicare funds are not used for management and maintenance of parks.
Mr Burnham said: We want the consultation to enable us to find the balance they should not ask the NHS to do at a time when pressure on finances, can not afford. But I think that offer is affordable. When Mr. Burnham plans to phase out taxes for patients who are known in September, Macmillan Cancer Support raised concerns that it is for people with cancer treatment as an outpatient.
Love the head of the campaign, Mike Hobday told the BBC Tuesday: MacMillan really pleased that this consultation free parking for patients with cancer treated at the hospital on average 53 times during the Treatment could mean.
What we need is, of course, all political parties to commit to eliminating unnecessary fees.
