Finding a parking space at Nottingham's hospitals has been described as a "major headache" for patients, visitors and staff as plans are launched to try and transform the situation amid fears it is getting worse. The concerns from councillors come after staff anonymously spoke out about the situation which is leaving them immensely stressed and wanting to quit.
The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) carried out four weeks of consultation over a multi-million pound upgrade plan for Nottingham University Hospitals. It took place in March and some of the predominant concerns raised were over parking at both the City Hospital and Queen's Medical Centre.
NUH is one of 40 acute trusts to receive funding to rebuild and improve its operations but councillors have now also backed calls to improve parking facilities as part of this. They demanded a solution from health bosses during a recent health scrutiny committee meeting at County Hall.
