A Sydney teenager's online petition has prompted the New South Wales Government to cut the cost of car parking at public hospitals by about $200 a week.

Fourteen-year-old Gidon Goodman, who has a rare blood disorder and has to go to hospital for regular medical infusions, started the petition because he was concerned family members would stop visiting their sick relatives due to high hospital parking costs.

Today, Premier Gladys Berejiklian responded to his campaign, which garnered more than 70,000 signatures, by announcing "a huge reduction in car parking fees" at all New South Wales hospitals.

"Instead of paying about $200 a week, they'll be paying about $20 a week," she said.
