As a result of a new national policy on Car Parking Concessions introduced by the Department of Health in 2022, plus the rising cost of general inflation, the Trust now needs to increase patient parking permit charges with effect from 8am on 15 November 2023.
Patient parking charges at the Trust have not been increased since 2018, and over that period general inflation has increased by 20%, with the Trust having subsidised car parking revenues over this period.
Due to this, patient parking permit charges will be uplifted by 9.5%, resulting in an increase of payments from this date. We recognise that our patients, visitors and community have many competing challenges, and we are currently experiencing a cost-of-living crisis, so this rate has been significantly reduced from the suggested 20% which would match the rise in inflation.
