What can i do if the hospital does not offer concessions for those that work out of hours - when the principles outlined on a gov.uk website state that those that cannot get to work via public transport should get a concession?

Is all the parking through barriers?

How much is the parking what hours does it operate

yes its barriers 180 a year. 24 hours

I see now where you have got this muddled up.

You allready get a concession as the hospital provides reasonable(as in dirt cheap) parking for ALL staff allready

It is going above and beyond the guidlines.

Working for the NHS, perhaps if the OP didn't have so much annual leave, it would work out cheaper per shift than it is. Perhaps it only seems so expensive because they get so much time off, so don't make as much use of their concession as they could.

Well if you don't then there is even less reason why the guidelines you quoted should apply.

With people paying up to £5k a year, and more in some cases, in order to get crowded and uncomfortable trains and tube to work I don't think you have much to complain about. It sounds like you have a massively reduced fee there and are paying less a week tgan most pay to park for a few hours.

I agree with Kynthia. Seriously OP, do you really think you should be subsidised further for parking? And should that subsidy be funded by the NHS? My husband pays £350 for train travel to get to work, so your £15 a month is minuscule! Next you'll be wanting to expense your petrol and maintenance of your car...

Well maybe that's why they don't offer any concessions if their not NHS!

In any case, what concession were you looking for because the guidance doesn't specify, so they could offer you £1 off and say that's a concession.

Of course, the OP could quit her NHS job, as could so many others and then the system would collapse....


But at least you'd be able to park in the empty hospital car parks...


Just out of curiosity how much annual leave would you need to clean up other people's p___, sh__ and vomit?

If indeed she works for the NHS. Post 24 implies she may not.

Well - the OP came back this afternoon and added one comment which didn't address all the other advice / observations... so, I guess we can consider the matter closed.

ETA: the guidelines just say 'staff' and not specifically 'NHS directly employed staff' so no need to get hung up on that.

Yes this matter is closed but there's always tomorrow for another thread from the OP.
