Campaigners have issued a fresh call for car parking charges at hospitals to be scrapped. They say it places an 'unfair' pressure on people already suffering with illness. Birmingham Women's NHS Trust charges patients and visitors £2.70 an hour.
The Coventry North East MP Bob Ainsworth has said the removal of the cap on parking charges at Coventry University Hospital is unacceptable. He says the Chairman of the hospital has agreed to meet him next week to discuss it and he hopes that the cap will be reinstated.
