Background
We believe delays in getting a Blue Badge application approved is leaving families with seriously ill children struggling to access hospital care and parking. In our view, this is not just an admin issue, it directly impacts quality of life & dignity of seriously ill children & their families. A fast track system would offer immediate, practical support when its is most needed.
