Free at point of delivery National Health Service - My ass!

The fact that staff have to pay is silly, and when they first introduced it staff didn't even have cards so they were all forced to abandon their cars wherever they could as they couldn't get on the staff carparks. This went on for quite a while.

When I go to A&E I should not be charged for the privilege of needing emergency attention if the NHS is supposed to be free.

Private hospitals don't have this issue, its always been free parking when I have been, which is rather surprising.

How much are the charges by the way?
