Hi All
My hospital has just raised its car parking charges again and attempted to mute it by giving the first 15 minutes free !. Charges then start at £2.50.
Like us all, I have for 3 years had frequent blood tests, the day before appointments. The form has always had * waiting *on it and as a result I’ve always been put in front of the people there for one off bloods, even though my appointments have been for the following day. This has always enabled me to park in 20 min drop off bays with no charge, which is what I was told to do at the start of this MM journey. My last test, I was told to join the queue, which took over an hour to wait for and resulted in me getting a parking fine.
I really would be interested in what others experience. Am I wrong to feel haematology patients, who have frequent blood tests, should have priority over the “one off” patient. Let alone have to pay so many charges. This is on top of my actual appointments for infusion and clinic at which time i am happy
to pay.
Best Wishes to all
