Why do we have to pay to park in hospitals in the U.K ?

Question

To visit our sick relatives and friends ?

Disgraceful I think.

Answer 1

um dont u have to in every hospital? wateva idk  

Answer 2

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...PLEASE!

That's a shame!

Don't give the US Hospitals, any Ideas!

Our Biggest problem is Parking at Hospitals..(finding a space...and keeping them 'open', due to many Illegals using the ER's as Doctors offices and then NOT PAYING the Bills!

Answer 3

You have to pay here in the US too. But not in emergency. I know what you are saying though. They charge so much for the patient to just be there. They should give the family a break.

Answer 4

Answer 7

I don't think that there are many places that that have hospitals that you DON'T have to pay to park.  I know, it's aweful to have to be doing such a dreadful thing and then have to pay to do it on top of that!  Sorry!  =[

I don't know and that seems a little rude and disrespectful...here in the United States it is usually free to park...

I heard that Scotland is doing away with the parking fees,but England is still charging ridiculous fees.I need to go to the hospital sometimes twice a week and if my brother drives me,I tell him to drop me off and not bother parking up and paying £4 per hour.It's extortion

Answer 11

Because you are in the U.K.  If you were in the U.S. of A., you would have to pay to park in hospitals in the U.S. of A.

Answer 14

It is the same here in America.  I've been visiting my mom for a week now and I am paying $2 or $3.00 to pay for parking.  Really expensive.  However, we did get a  reprieve for the Labor day holiday and Sunday.
