"parking"

Arrived at A and E with a seriously injured child in need of emergency treatment. There was nowhere to park, as all the drop off spaces were full. The car was left outside A and E in what turned out to be a disabled parking space whilst the child was taken in to be attended to. The parent returned to the car as soon as possible in order to move it to find a penalty notice of £70 slapped on it. This was appealed explaining the circumstances involved and the appeal was rejected ! So thank you very much for your parking policy in what was a distressing time for the family involved. The child was admitted and underwent surgery , the staff were all brilliant. Maybe the parking situation should be reviewed as it badly lets down your hospital !!
