hospital parking charges - Eddie Barnes

Ministers might want to get a grip soon on the simmering row over new parking charges at hospitals. Under the rules, staff have been told they can park their cars for nothing for four hours, but that they then have to move them or pay £40. I've heard on the grapevine that nurses have been spotted leaving operating theatres midway through procedures to avoid having to cough up. A few alarm bells should be going off in Nicola Sturgeon's office, I'd hope.
