A patient has called car parking at Nottingham City Hospital 'ridiculous' after it took him 45 minutes to get a spot for an outpatient appointment - to be told it was cancelled and then rescheduled in four months' time. John Billett, 55, from Kegworth, had an appointment to check on a growth on the back of his neck at 9.30am on Wednesday (April 27).
At first, John had visited his GP for something entirely different when he then asked about the growth. Although he has had it for a number of years, it has continued to grow, to what John describes is now the size of a ping-pong ball. His GP referred him around six months ago for an appoint at City Hospital.
John drove from his home to the hospital and arrived at 9.15am, 15 minutes before his appointment. But when he got there, he says there were no spaces at all for him to park.
