Welsh Minister - you have forever lost my vote, for years we are told politicians lie however never in my wildest dreams did i ever think they would lie about something that can be disproved so easily..

Shame on you and any of your people who helped find this case for you to use as an excuse to get out of helping persecuted staff at the Heath Hospital.

Somebody needs to step up and step in to resolve this - obviously it looks like the welsh assembly has finally shown itself to be the utter waste of funding and space that many of us believed it would be initially.

What would be good - would be all NHS Staff standing together to say NO - NO More - the 16 unions on site were a party to a deal and refuse to help also.

Thank you all for your support with this x much appreciated

Agreed. The Welsh Minister has shown himself up to be a weasel and absolute disgrace. The unions are not much better.

The biggest a*shole of all time is the smirking Jeremy Hunt

He now spends £44,000 on a new bathroom.

I wonder if Indigo helped to keep his stupid mouth shut ???

That's absolutely disgusting behaviour, for that amount of money the government could have written off hundreds of these "fines" instead they spend it on furnishing their toilets!

Well, the deadline for the FOI request came and went. After 5 weeks I issued a reminder. Still no reply. It will have to be the ICO next.

Heard a few things on "the grapevine" about this. I don't work in Wales but am fairly familiar with the Cardiff site on the basis of past experience.

Those involved were advised by the unions that they were likely to lose the court case and should come to an agreement to pay.

The Trust really can't do anything. The agreements over these car parks (and I've worked at another place where this company operates) transfers the whole management of the car park to the operator. I did here the Trust advised them to settle.

To me it doesn't seem unreasonable to have more permits than spaces. The whole staff of a hospital isn't likely to be on duty at the same time, even less so in the cases of nurses and doctors who work shifts.

Parking in NHS staff car parks can be awful - normally as a result of a shortage of space and people having to leave their cars anywhere in order to get to work on time.

In some locations the planning conditions of the hospital limits staff parking in an attempt to persuade staff to use public transport.

Entirely possible.
One place I worked tightly controlled permits and only issued well matched numbers according to strict criteria. It annoyed the staff as well.

My understanding is that my permit allows me to park in a designated space. It doesn't allow me to park anywhere I find on site even if the designated staff car park is full.

Staff parking in the NHS is a nightmare but there are few easy solutions.
