Its absolutely digusting, have always said it should be illegal to charge for parking at hospitals. At the very least free short term parking should be made available for urgent visits.

My dad at the height of his illness drove himself to hospital and parked in the hospitals parking facilities, and I couldn't get on a flight for two days and had no one in that area to help me. So I had to pay an insane parking fee, which made everything so much more stressful for me financially while I was in the middle of grieving for my dying dad.

Bloody agree with you and a lot of people who need it are often suffering from paying other hospital related fees that got their relatives or relations there in the first place.
