Well that’s what you get when the government wastes our taxes on illegal wars, replenishing a nuclear deterrent that we cannot use without the permission of the yanks, to name just 2, and then cannot afford to build new hospitals, so turns to the biggest con of modern times the PFI.

Hospital staff should not be charged for parking and there should be adequate space for them to do so. And if the staff car park is full, the staff should be able to park in the visitor’s car park without a charge.

In fact there should be no parking fee for attending a hospital whether as a patient, visitor or staff.
