Reply To: NHS parking charges

Its a pain but I can see why the charges are there.
Leeds has 2 main hospitals, one in the city center and one just outside of it.
The one in the center would be ramned if it was free.
When my Mrs was in for a month it would have cost me £150 to park to visit her but I was fortunate to have a motorcycle handy.
Yes there is a bus but for a month life was get up at 6am, feed and clean cats, go to work, get home at 6pm, feed and clean cats, scrub the days filth of myself and go to hospital.
Get home, eat and go to bed.
Adding a hour plus of bus travel to the mix was not going to happen.
