Gridlocked car parks, costly fees and a lack of spaces are causing backlogs at some of NI's hospitals.
Car parking at most of Northern Ireland's hospitals has become too costly and gridlocked due to a shortage of spaces.
They were longest at Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital , where one patient said he was often late for appointments and had received texts about being fined for not turning up. "I have to use my personal vehicle as part of my job. I'm using the public car park, which is then causing a backlog. I think it's going to get worse," he said.
To facilitate staff, the South Eastern Trust operates a regular free 10-minute shuttle bus to the Ulster Hospital from a nearby carpark.How the car parks are run and what they charge can vary from trust to trust. An online consultation on the bill's proposals in 2021 received more than 800 respondents, with indications that many were from staff, unions or patient groups.Brenda Stevenson, a regional officer for Unite, said the union welcomed the scrapping of charges as many workers just cannot afford to pay them.
