- Visitors to patients in the Neonatal Unit

From Monday 3 May 2021 the following people are now exempt from paying any car parking charges:-
Disabled People: A disabled person is a holder of a valid Blue Badge attending hospital as a patient or visitor or is a disabled person employed by the Hospital Trust. Disabled patients and visitors will receive free parking for the duration of their attendance at, or visit to, the hospital.
Upon arrival at the Hospital please present to the reception with your blue badge. This form will need to be completed and then the car registration will be entered onto the system. Obviously the permit goes with the person and not necessarily the vehicle therefore if the person attending the Hospital uses a different car then the same process will need to be repeated.
Frequent Outpatient Attenders: Parking will be provided free to all outpatients who attend hospital for an appointment at least 3 times within a month and for an overall period of at least 3 months. A ‘month’ is defined as a period of 30 days.
The Trust will retrospectively reimburse any patient who meets the above criteria. To claim the money back the person will be required to fill in this form giving details of the dates and times when they attended. We will then organise for a BACS payment to be paid to the visitor.
In terms of the frequent attenders there are already a number of visitors who all ready receive car parking concessions, ie. renal and oncology patients and these will still apply.
If you have any queries about parking please speak to someone at the main reception desk.
Please note we no longer offer long term parking permits (except for staff).
Parking for contractors to the Hospital
All contractors providing a service to the Trust must obtain a parking permit from the Estates department, failure to do so will result in a parking charge notice being issued by the Trust.
