"Car parking"

I am an NHST employee who had cause to attend an appointment at Ninewells Hospital this morning. Can the current parking arrangements please be reviewed. Having left home at 7:40am this morning to attend a 9:00am appt I felt I had left plenty of time.  However, on arriving at Ninewells at approx 8:20 am there were no parking spaces available and I spent time circling around various car parks before finally giving up and rescheduling my appointment as I was not going to make it on time.

Late cancellation of my appointment is the last thing I wanted to do but trying to park at the site at this time is really stressful. I appreciate there are no current parking charges which in my view is encouraging more people to travel to work via private vehicle but this is not great from a patient experience perspective and surely must be costing the organisation financially with either short notice cancellations or patients not attending appointments. I am able-bodied and could potentially walk some distance to allow me to access the hospital but this may not be the case for less abled service users. Just to note that I live rurally and required a private vehicle for onward travel to my place of employment.
