Our nearest big NHS hospital is fair. There is a charge of about three pounds for a short stay, going up for longer periods , but if you are coming in for an outpatients appointment or A and E you can get your ticket stamped so you only pay the short stay charge even if you are there all day. It is pay on exit and takes cards and coins.

Unfortunately it is not an environmentally friendly policy, because I would rather pay the car park money than a higher amount to Stagecoach for a bus trip of a couple of miles there and back.
