Doctor fined £200 for overstaying 8 minutes in hospital car park after 12-hour shift

A doctor has hit out at "predatory" fees targeting overworked NHS staff after he returned to his car just minutes late after a gruelling overnight shift and was fined £200.

London-based GP registrar Malinga Ratwatte was sent two £100 fines after he overstayed in an hospital car park by just eight minutes and nine minutes respectively, after finishing two 12 and half hour night shifts.
