Thanks guys, got it. Btw if I complain to pals do you think they will pass my info to the Cowboys

I am surprised that you cannot understand why the charge has been levied. It's because you have parked on a pavement (along with all the other cars). A wheelchair user or a someone with a pram or pushchair would be forced into the road by your inconsiderate parking.

Probably not - but can't guarantee anything. Issues of patient confidentiality will probably make them pretty sensitive to not passing on information willy-nilly.

You could write it in your mother's name - she was the patient. No one needs to know who was driving - or who owns the car. At this stage CCI have no idea who you are - they just have a VRN for the car. Whether they are able to access keeper data from the DVLA is yet to be seen.

Do not contact CCI at all unless you get anything in the post from them. Come back for further advice if you do.

Nigelbb, I understand and appreciate your comments but that path is not used by anyone as people always use the right hand side as that's the entrance and exit. Also the ambulance has another route for entry and exit so please be rest assured that I wasn't blocking emergency vehicles and also, when I parked there were more than 10 vehicles parked before me so I just followed the trend, sounds stupid but when you have a patient who's in an emergency mode then your brain doesn't think much.

But I already told you to complain in the name of the patient.

Yes coupon, that's what I will be doing. Thanks

seems to me that a lot of these trusts are way behind the times and the laws

clearly not following these guidlines from Jeremy Hunt

any complaint to PALS from the main patient should also point them at those guidelines, which were drafted in august 2014 and amended in ocober 2015
