The Royal United Hospital Bath, has been awarded an unusual accolade\u00a0 by Which? Who have identified it as having the best NHS hospital car park in England.<\/p>\n
Which?\u00a0looked for\u00a0the best and worst NHS hospital car parks in England\u00a0by using information from 126 Freedom of Information requests.<\/p>\n
Car parks were then rated on capacity, convenience of payment methods, charging structure and of course penalties.<\/p>\n
Which? chief executive, Peter Vicary-Smith says: \u201cRoyal United Hospital Bath shows that not every hospital visit needs to end in a parking nightmare. Now we know which hospitals are scoring badly, they must take action and improve their parking services.<\/p>\n
\u201cVisiting hospital is stressful enough without having to worry about being clamped or getting a ticket. Surely this is now the end of the road for the worst hospital car parks?\u201d<\/p>\n
The worst NHS hospital car parks for fining, clamping, charges and the number of complaints were Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust , Leeds General Infirmary – Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Barnet & Chase Farm Hospitals NHS Trust.<\/p>\n
Now Which? Is calling on hospitals to improve their car parking services through fair charges, a good capacity of spaces, clear information and actually asking patients and visitors what they want to see from the service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
