Think it would be helpful to know how many car parking spaces there are available for patients and NHS workers. At present staff need to have a permit to park. How many permits are in place? How many more might be needed if all who work there took up the offer of a free parking space? Patients get a free 4hour slot with a no return policy. Again how many spaces are available and might free parking encourage greater demand. Have seen couples park in our road and get on the 22, using their bus pass to go to hospital. I think there is going to be more parking problems caused by this announcement.
