"The Hospital itself is of very ..."

Thank you for your comments. We regularly monitor all feedback received about our services and use it as a basis for improving the way we provide all aspects of hospital care. The Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which manages the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, has developed a Trust-wide Travel Plan to tackle the parking/transport issues across all the hospitals. The plan is designed to make alternative modes of transport realistic options and thus encourage patients, visitors and staff to change their modes of travel where possible. We have already expanded our shuttle bus service to encourage more staff and patients to travel between the hospitals via public transport and there are various park and ride schemes operating within the city that can be used when accessing the hospitals. Further information is available from the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE) on www.sypte.co.uk or by telephoning 0114 276 7575.

We continue to consider possible options to increase car parking as and when opportunities present. This involves exploring the option of building more parking spaces, developing nearby park & ride schemes and most recently a review of parking in the RHH multi-storey car park to reduce the number of staff in this area and improve access for patients.
