Like in most places in the country, parking your car costs money, but I think in Alnwick (Northumberland), the local infirmary has taken this a little bit too far. They've started charging you for parking your car while visiting your GP.
Does that mean that all those old people who are visiting their GP more regular than the young people, have to fork out even more money out of their poor pensions. Or does it mean that the carers will be out of pocket, having to pay every time they take one of their patient to the doctor. Seriously, there has got to be a better way.
They don't just charge you a small fee. The cost per hour is 80p or 4.80 for a dayticket. There is no option of just paying for 15min, NO, you have to pay for the full hour.
Does it mean when you're sitting in the waiting room and a message says that your GP is running 35 min late, that you will have to put some more money in the meter or when you are seen to by your GP, you just turn around and say : 'sorry doctor, my ticket is running out, I'll just put some more money in, I'll be back soon'
Shocking !!!!!!!!!!!!
