Nothing relating to tickets issued my first an nhs trust. Some about tickets being issued by a private company on behalf of the nhs.

The reason I wanted to see if there was a difference is an nhs trust is technically a government entity just like a local council.

No difference. Council parking is governed by legislation/parking orders. Everything else is effectively "private" in that it relies on contract law or trespass to "enforce" any charges. Just because the land is ultimately owned by a public body makes no difference.

The difference with a landowner like an NHS Trust enforcing their own parking regime is that they do not need to be a member of an AOS (BPA or IPC) to purchase Registered Keeper details from the DVLA. It does mean that they will not offer an appeal to a 3rd party (like POPLA or IAS) if they turn down your appeal.

Generally landowners enforcing their own parking regime are clueless about POFA or indeed any other laws concerning parking & will almost certainly mess up the NTK so there will not be any keeper liability

You still haven't told us which trust this is? Some of them are BPA members in their own right.

Have a read of this also link, while it is only guidance, it represents the DoH's car-parking principles and best practice.

3.7
NHS organisations should consider issuing
parking charge notices only if all available
solutions have been explored. Every effort
should be made to contact the driver of the
vehicle in question before a parking charge
notice is issued. Where they are issued, each
appeal received should be considered carefully
and should be successful if there is a valid
reason for the delay.

I notice you have also stated that you have had trouble finding the Trusts car-parking policy, this is what the above document says:

•
NHS trusts should publish:
–
their parking policy
–
their implementation of the NHS car
parking principles
–
financial information relating to their car
parking
–
summarised complaint information on car
parking and actions taken in response

I did mention that to the security manager when I e-mailed this is their response:

[FONT=Times New Roman,serif][FONT=Calibri,sans-serif]On the back of the enforcement notice is the address for the appeal process, once the enforcement is issued security have no further say in the matter other than to justify the reason for enforcement.[/FONT][/FONT]

Complain to the Trust and ask why they are not complying with the DoH Car-Parking principles.

I may just do that once I stop working for them.

Why wait?

They can't hold a valid complaint against you.
