Car Parking at Hospitals
Watch this postAm I being unreasonable? One of my biggest bugbears is the fact that most hospitals have a car park charging system. This irritates me on two levels. Firstly if you are going to the hospital for an appointment, and there is a prepay system in place, how do you know how long you will be there, which then adds to the stress of a visit, if you overstay your paid parking. Secondly, that you actually have to pay to visit a patient in hospital, especially if they are there for a few days or weeks. Does this system seem fair?

Once a very sick man staggered to reception,late for his appointment because he had been unable to find a space (another problem). He said the day before he had received a parking ticket and if it happened again he wouldn't be returning. A monstrous state of affairs.Our local hospital has sold off its land for housing and a supermarket so parking is always hard to find.
Scotland and Wales have free hospital parking,why not England?
We did manage to wangle some free parking once but it involved me spending time in intensive care.
Now isn't that nice and friendly 😕 😡
