Royal Berkshire Hospital - didn't park, will I get a fine?

I recently visited the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, I drove into the multi-storey car park only to find no spaces, after driving around the various levels, I gave up hope and left without stopping. Does this mean I will get a fine?

    Definitely not, nobody gets a fine in a civil dispute case, magistrates issue fines, not hospitals or private companies 

    But 

    Yes you may get a private parking charge notice in the post, so come back to this thread if one arrives in the near future

    If you do get anything complain straight away to the hospital PALS team.  I have been there a few times with family and parking is not easy.
