Drop off points?!

Story from nhs.uk

"Drop off points?!"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

Anything else?

Signage at the hospital is appalling, there are no directions to where the visitor drop off points are or how to reach them, even the map on the website doesn't indicate where they are, there is just 101 disabled parking bays near the entrance. Car parking charges are equally astronomical. It's cheaper to park in Darlington city centre, you shouldn't have to pay for a minimum of 2 hours when all I was doing is dropping someone off and taking them in to day surgery (max of 15-20 mins). Charge by 30 min period or make all parking free for the first 20 mins. The hospital trust certainly know how to fleece the public.
