With free care for the elderly in Scotland, and free prescriptions in Wales, and now free hospital parking.
Are the English becoming second class members of the NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE?
Health chiefs refused to intervene and even said forcing hospitals to stop charging would breach the Government's drive to cut carbon emissions by encouraging car use.
When are the once "Bull Dog Breed" going to say enough is enough? Or are we all increasingly becoming "Lap-Dogs" to our masters in Westminster?

until charges were introduced at our main hospital (in the midlands), many of the spaces in the car park were occupied by drivers who provably had no business being there, ie gone to shops, commuters, etc.
it's sometimes a difficult call but in our case it had to happen as even hospital staff were having trouble parking on-site.

I live in Penarth S,Wales and I must admit I had very little faith in the Welsh Assembly " Edwina included" but ,to her due's she worked all out to get us free "scripts" and now along with The Macmillan Nurses she's succeeded in her quest for free hospital parking. What is wrong with the English government?
the welsh and scottish are just as slaved to their parliament. in paying for these things, Noon asked them if they wanted it. their governments will have to make tough decisions on something else to cut. the scottish and welsh cant have free prescriptions, free hospital parking, free personal care AND everything else. they only get a certain pot of money, so something else will have to go
My local hospital car park has parking fees which can prove costly if you go there to visit each day , even more if twice a day , you can get a free pass if your relative has been in more than 8 days . There are blue badge disabled lots but the same charges apply. The staff have their own staff car park but even they pay for their permit .
just for you information, the Wesh NHS stopped prsecription charges, as the department that processed the prescriptions was so expensive to run. It was cheaper to shut the department down and give free prescriptions everyone.
As for "bulldog breed" the NHS was set up by Aneuran Bevan, a Welsh man who used the idea from the Valleys where the miners paid into a community hospital fund every month month regardless if they were ill or not just in case they or their families became ill.
