Fight the French

System

Dr C makes a point but what people are glossing over is that the "tariff" price on the parking charges is £20. At issue is the £100 + in "costs" that are being added on.

Most staff could cope with £20 (£10 if paid early) but the court case was not about the basis of the tickets but the amounts that can be loaded onto them.

Engaging a PPC to issue penalties like confetti is not one of these. Doesn't address any fundamental.

Yes and no, I guess.

It doesn't directly solve the issue which is lack of capacity. However, it does ensure:
Patients don't park in the staff spaces (and vice-versa)
Peoplevpark in designated spaces and not all over the site potentially blocking access
Revenue is obtained for the hospital - probably essential when funding is so tight.

Anyway back on topic. Good luck to my colleagues in Cardiff. It sounds like they've been badly advised and I hope they can raise funds for an appeal if the judgement is defective.

What? From Indigo?

The court case outcome (extrapolated) suggests that Indigo could be in line for a £12m+ windfall. How much of that will go to fund vital organ transplants, chemotherapy treatments, joint replacements et al?

Or will it be simply lavished on even more foie gras and Crystal?
