    They are claiming to offer free parking to "REGISTERED CARERS" - I looked into this and it turns out that they really mean their "Trust Carer’s Scheme whereby carers assist in providing care for patients whilst they are in hospital if they wish to do so receive concessions."
    So that doesn't help at all !!

    Isn't that wives do for their husbands and vice versa whilst they are in hospital - help feed, wash etc?

    Yes - but they are implying that it covers ALL carers when it does not !!
    people are going to be in for a shock when the truth emerges - with parking fines (extortion) widespread !

    For every patient? You are aware that the NHS is trying to cut down on unnecessary admin?


    Precisely and that is why I made a possible suggestion followed by 'but'.
