Patient fined £70 for parking for 11 minutes at hospital for crucial appointment

A parking company slapped a hospital patient with a fine after he stayed in a car park for 11 minutes while trying to pay.

James Murphy, 37, says he tried to park his car next to the hospital in Wythenshawe, in Manchester, but couldn't find a space so was forced to park down the road.

Mr Murphy - who was on his way to attend a crucial appointment for treatment of his Crohn's disease - parked the car and tried to pay three ways - first by contactless, then by phone, and through an app - but each method failed, Manchester Evening News reports.
